I got caught up in some technical difficulties connecting to the internet which are now resolved. My intention was to share another video about Marine helicopters (up close and personal) used in the May 2014 wildfires that burned in San Diego County, California. This will have to wait until next Monday.
In the meantime, here is a very nice video from Yosemite National Park about the Rim Fire that burned in 2013. This is, to date, the largest wildfire in California history. They talk about things to think about regarding wildland fire management.

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.
