I heard about the Washoe Fire that has burned about 4,000 acres in Reno Nevada yesterday. You may have seen reports about this fire on national news and weather outlets. I saw one report on the Weather Channel earlier today.
Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today reports on the Washoe Fire here.
California Fire News reports on the fire here.
There are two threads on the Wildland Fire hotlist forums. These are: West Basin initial attack on Washoe Fire and West Basin QandA on Washoe Fire.
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.
