Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

This just in: wildfire near Reno NV

updated on July 18, 2013: video that I had embedded here on the fire (below) in Reno is no longer available. :-(
A friend of mine just wrote to tell me about this 400 +/- fire near Reno. From what I understand 20 residences have been destroyed, and evacuations are in place.

This goes to show that wildfire season is not over in that part of the country.
