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.

On Helos
As I was writing about the Herriman Fire the other day, I got thinking about the important role that helos play in wildland fire fighting, whether it be for transporting cargo, helitack operations, or bucket operations.
So, when I went on you tube just now to like for videos of aerial wildland fire fighting operations, I did so with the intent of finding a video showing help operations. I believe that some or all of the footage in this video was shot in Canada. But that doesn't matter, for this could be the U.S. or any one of a number of other countries for that matter. I also wanted to find a video showing light or medium weight helicopters, along with some footage that I had not embedded previously. Enjoy.
