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.

USFS to resume night drops with one helo in 2013
I'd like to thank a friend of mine who gave me a heads up yesterday that the USFS will be resuming night flights of helicopters to fight fires in southern California in 2013. At first just one helo will be used, stationed in the Angeles National Forest. He sent me a link to a video report on the resumption of these night operations that is no longer available (updated on July 18, 2013)
