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.

DC-10 tanker at Post Fire in Kern County, CA
I've been watching live video stream of the Post Fire currently burning near Lebec CA. It is quite an airshow. I did not see the live footage of the DC-10 tanker, but I saw some type 1 helos, a couple of P-3's and some CAL Fire S-2T's. As I understand it, evacuations have been ordered.

Here is a news report from the LA ABC affiliate. And you might want to check out wildland fire hotlist initial attack thread on the fire.
