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.

A quick update on the Ponderosa Fire currently burning in northern CA. As of mid-day PDT, the fire has burned 24,323 acres and is at 50% containment. Fifty structures have been destroyed and evacuations remain in place. Here is a report from kcrc news 7. If you have trouble with, or can not see the video that I embedded above, it is from CBS in San Francisco and may be found here.
