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.

San Bruno Gas Main Explosion
By now, I think that many of you have heard about the rupture of the gas main in San Bruno, CA. Four people are dead, 52 are injured and 38 homes were destroyed in the resulting fire. The video I embedded above was shot this morning by KGO (ABC-7) in San Francisco.
There is not much more that I can say. In a video report I saw last night, the Mayor of San Bruno asked all of us for our prayers. I offer this article as an act of prayer.

1st hand account from Brian Carmody. The footage was taken about 15 minutes after the explosion. The interview was with KGO reporters. The video is a little over 15 minutes and is on the intense side, perhaps not for the faint of heart. Brain is a freelance photographer.
