Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Memorial for 19 Granite MT Hotshots on July 9

Here is a direct link to a video from azcentral reporting on plans for the memorial service for the 19 Granite MT hotshots

Update July 5, 10:20 AM EDT I ran across a website called YarnellFallenFireFighters on a couple of sources on the web, including the In Memory of Prescott Firefighters Lost 6/30/2013 Facebook Page (a public page when I accessed on 7/5/2013). The YarnellFallenFireFighters page has information on the planning for the memorial services for the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died on June 30, and is being updated periodically with new information so be sure to check that site for the latest information about the memorial service and related information.

Update July 5, 8 PM EDT ABC News is reporting that V.P. Biden will attend the memorial service for the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots on Tuesday July 9th from 11 AM to 1 PM in Prescott.
