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.

Powerhouse Fire: Ground and Air Attack
direct link to video
Funny how things happen. I have spent some time the last couple of days looking for a short video showing tankers and helos working a fire AND firefighters on the ground for a project I am working on. I came upon the video I share above which has all the elements that I was looking for plus some fire footage. It is a tad long for the project in question. But that won't stop me from sharing this here. It is a great video by Firegroundaction, footage from day 3 (June 2) of the Powerhouse Fire. Allow a little under eight minutes to watch the video.
As I write this, the Powerhouse Fire has burned 32,032 acres and is at 70 percent containment.
