I suspect that many of you saw news of the wildfires that burned in New South Wales, Australia recently. The NSW Rural Fire Service has a webpage chock full of information and maps where you may go for current information.
I came across a slide show showing images from the State Mine Bushfire that burned near Lithgow in NSW from ABC Central West NSW (on Oct. 30, 2013). Along with the slide show is an audio report from Clarence resident, Matthew Millet talking about his experiences with the State Mine Fire.
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.
