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.

Sunfish Pond Fire (Warren Cnty, NJ) contained
The Sunfish Pond Fire that burned 250 acres near the Appalachian Trail in Warren County, NJ was been contained. For the latest sit report on this fire, see this wildland fire hotlist thread. A report from the 1st Responder Broadcast Network with pictures of the fire may be found here. Finally, some of you might be interested in going here to see a graphic (jpeg) from Modis of the mid-atlantic region showing the location of the fire. Posting the image here is not worthwhile because the image to small to make out the fire location. However, I downloaded a copy of this high resolution image to my computer, and was able to zoom in and get good, clear detail.
