I wrote yesterday about a fire that was burning in Edison New Jersey near the Raritan Center. I understand from this wildland fire hotlist thread that the final acreage for this fire is 193.5 acres burned, and that it was declared under control at 17:20 last night. Go here for the latest update from NJ dot com (with photos).
Stay safe everyone!
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.
