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.

About the SEAT
Thanks to a friend who told me about this report on SEATs and how they are used in Arizona. This is a great report on the SEAT and the role they play in fighting fires in Arizona. While the report focuses on Arizona, I think that the importance of the SEAT in aerial firefighting applies to other locales.
You will meet "Betty", the AT-802A, her pilot Steve, and ground support Russell.
An article that goes with the video, by Fox 10 in Phoenix AZ, may be found here.
