Yesterday and today have been bad days for both structure and wildfires
in NJ/PA/NY and probably elsewhere. There have been numerous wildfires
and structure files in NJ, eastern PA, Staten Island in NYC, Long Island
and elsewhere.
Two structure firefighters died fighting a fire in a furniture store
adjacent to an abandoned warehouse in Kensington, PA, see this report from MyFoxPhilly: Lt. Robert
Neary and Firefighter Daniel Sweeney, both assigned to Ladder 10 on the C
platoon. My condolences go out to their family, friends, colleagues and
those who loved them.
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.
