While I have been focusing recently on wildfires of various sizes burning in NJ (and one in southeast NY), I am aware that other areas in the northeast United States have seen wildfires. So in the spirit of remembering wildland firefighters on the ground and in the air who have worked these various fires, I share two videos that I just came across thanks to my friends for the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Video Page (updated 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.
