Following up on historic videos on wildfires that I posted a couple of days ago, I am sharing another video that is archived on the the FedFlix Archive. This video, in this video you will learn about the 1961 wildfire that burned in and near the communities of Bel-Air, Brentwood, and Santa Ynez CA in November of 1961.

Added on June 15, 2016: I don't think that either the link or the embedded video on this article is working. Over the next several days, I'll try to take some time to get new links for you. Please be patient.
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.
