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.

Las Conchas Update #3
I found a link to the video embedded above, on this wildland fire hotlist thread devoted to the Las Conchas fire. Seems that KRQE has a Skyranger pilot/report up in the air reporting on the fire. There is some nice footage of both tankers and helos working the fire.
According to the latest update from inciweb (sometime last night), the fire has burned 93,678 acres and is at 3 percent containment.
