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.

NJ Floods - Rivers below flood levels
I wrote here and here about the recent floods affecting northern NJ. The good news is that the last of the Rivers, the Passaic River, that flooded last week have receded below flood levels today. For those living near Passaic River and her tributaries, this was the first time in almost two week that the River was not under a flood warning. See this article from NJ dot com for more information, and note the photo gallery.
For businesses and residents in flood stricken areas, some of whom have seen flooding multiple times in the last few years, the clean-up is just begining. FEMA visited northern NJ communities affected by the floods a couple of days ago assessing damages.
