I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

Wildland firefighting: Station Fire Redux
There are some fires that I will never forget and the Station Fire that burned in Los Angeles County last August and September is one of them. I was watching live streaming and exchanging e-mails with a friend when they found the bodies of Firefighters Hall and Quinones. This is something you don't forget.
I watched live feed over a couple of days as the airtankers and helos and later the ground crews fought the fire at the Wilson Observatory.
