Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Post Fire, Kern County CA update

Here is a nice report from KTLA, probably from their midday news, on the Post Fire. The aerial support by helos, the DC-10 tanker, and other fixed wing air tankers continue. The latest numbers are 1,308 acres and 30 percent containment. Triple digit temperatures.
