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 Alberta, Canada
Bill Gabbert, of Wildfire Today is reporting here (5/15) and here (5/16) on a wildfire that has burned a significant portion of the town of Slave Lake. As I understand it from Bill's articles, airtankers and helicopters were grounded yesterday by high winds. He has some photos, a video, and a map of the fire area. I suspect that Bill will continue to report on this fire, so those of you who are interested might want to check his blog.
