Here are some photo galleries and videos of the wildfires that have been burning in San Diego County the past four days. According to the CAL FIRE current incident page, the Poinsettia Fire is 100% contained at 600 acres, the Cocos Fire (San Marco) had burned 3,018 acres with 10% containment at 9:15 AM PDT this morning, and the Bernardo Fire has burned 1,548 acres and is 90% contained. I updated the fires that I have written about, for information on other fires burning in San Diego County, check the CAL FIRE current incident page.

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.
