Inciweb is reporting that the Giles Creek Fire has grown to 17,800 acres and is 35% contained. The photo page on inciweb for this incident has been updated with new photos, check it out!
And speaking of photographs of wildland fires in Alaska, check out this photo page on picasa for other photographs of wildland fires in Alaska. There is pretty cool picture of what looks like a CL-215 water scooper.
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.
