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.

Air Attack: Florida Fire (CA) Aug 2011
direct link to video from the envenomater1
I don't know about you, I've been in the mood to watch some footage of tankers and helos working a fire. Allow about 13.5 minutes for this video, footage from late August 2011 of air operations over the Florida Fire in San Bernadino County CA. You will see a couple of the Canadair Scoopers (415 CL) that CAL FIRE contracts for as well as a couple of Grumman S2-T's and a couple of helos.
