Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today continues to do a fine job on reporting on the wildfires currently burning in Texas. Bill posted an article earlier today that may be found here. He reports that Bastrop County Complex has burned 34,068 acres and is 30 percent contained. 1,386 residences have been destroyed. I understand from Bill's article that the remains of two "civilians" have been found.
Bill reported earlier on the TX wildfires on Sept. 7 and I wrote about the Texas wildfires on Sept. 6.
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.
