Knowing that there are a number of large wildfires burning in Colorado, I went to ABC7 News - The Denver Channel to look at their coverage. As I write this, they have a "fire alert news page" with maps, videos, pictures, etc. of the wildfires currently burning in Colorado. I was especially intrigued by the video that I embedded because of an interesting interview with Craig Heule of the Rocky Mountain Management Team where Mr. Heule discusses some of the difficulties and attendant safety concerns with aerial attack on these fires. Wildfire Today has been reporting on the Colorado Fires here.
Finally, Paul Filmer (photographer - skippyscage) just wrote an article with some spectacular photos of aerial assets that worked some of the earlier June wildfires in Colorado. Paul's article may be found on Global Aviation Resource. He has some great photos of a SEAT, CH-47 and UH-60 helos and buckets, MAFFS, P-2V tankers, and a DC-10 tanker.
