Here is a news report about the Rifle Range Fire from ABC6 Action News out of Philadelphia. I believe that this report was reported sometime Monday, June 27 while the fire was still burning. Perhaps the news helo was one of the helos that Johnny saw over the fire? The fire was contained at 171 acres Tuesday morning (June 28), see this wildland fire hotlist thread for more information. I'd like to thank my friends at the NJFFS section B10 website for their fire reports, for their wonderful website, and for posting a couple of my pictures that I shot from the air on the 27th.
ABC6 Action News also has a slide show of photos from the fire These are of better quality than the ones I took. :-)
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.
