Over the weekend, I heard about the Silverado Fire as I watching a cable news outlet. As I write this, the Silverado Fire has burned 968 acres in the Cleveland National Forest in California, and is at 80% containment. Evacuations are in place. I found these two videos showing footage of the Silverado fire thanks to my friend at the NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage, he has a wonderful videos of the week page where he posts a few new fire videos weekly.

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.
