I know from my wonderings around the internet the past couple of days about wildfires that have been burning in Idaho. A friend of mine sent me links to videos and photos to share with you. I'll try to get more information for you in a later post, probably tomorrow. But I wanted to get this out tonight.
Here is some aerial footage of wildfires burning in Treasure Valley, courtesy of KBOI in Boise, Idaho
Here is a link to a photo gallery from ktvb, including a photo of a SEAT working another wildfire near Weiser, Idaho.
I am having trouble getting blogger to read the embed code in one video, but here is a link to the story and video from KBOI
Finally, a video of another wildfire approaching Mountain Home AFB.
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.
