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.

Wildfire in NJ
This just in. I saw a note on the NJFFS Section B-10 website a short time ago about a 100-acre wildfire burning in grass and marshes near Edison NJ. The NJ Forest Fire Service is on scene. I found this video report on myfoxny.
The next post in my series about my cross-country flight will post this Friday. I'll follow the news about this fire and report back here as the situation changes.
By the way, I did check the weather forecast from the NWS, there is a low pressure system moving up the coast that is forecast to bring showers and rain to NJ Thursday into Friday.
