Over the next few days I'll be sharing some videos with you from the National Interagency Fire Center, they have a nice youtube channel with a variety of videos (over 90). Sorry if any of you saw a post disappear, my bad. The post in question, on Wildland Fire Engines -- up close, should reappear on Monday June 2.
May 28: About Helos (used in wildland firefighting)
May 30: A look at smokejumping from NIFC
June 2: Wildland Fire Engines -- up close
June 4: About chainsaws
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.
