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.

Wood Hollow Fire (Utah)
The report from Fox 13 in Salt Lake City that goes with the video may be found here.
As I write this on June 27 at about 4:45 PM EDT, the Wood Hollow Fire (UT) has burned about 46,190 acres, one civilian is dead, dozens of homes have been burned and evacuations are in place. It is 15% contained.
Updated on June 28, 2012 at 10:45 AM EDT to include one video report from Fox 13 in Salt Lake City. ABC News 4 in Salt Lake City also had decent coverage, but I was only able to embed their play list, which I thought might be a little confusing for some so I decided not to use their embed code. However, if you are so inclined you might want to check out the ABC News 4 coverage.
