The driver of the passenger vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Also dead is Fernando Sanchez, a 25-year old inmate firefighter, go here for more information.
Very sad. My condolences.
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.
