When I wrote my two posts last week (June 24th and June 26th) about the danger of UAS/drones flying near wildfires, I did not know about this wonderful short public safety video produced by the National Interagency Fire Center. Thanks to the wonderful reporting of Bill Gabbert of Fire Aviation, I only learned of this video just this morning (see Bill's June 26th post. Too bad that I only learned of this video after making those two posts on UAS/drones last week, the video would have made a nice companion to either article. Oh well, such is life.
The video is short, about 30 seconds, and well worth watching, and sharing. Note I updated the embed code for this video as the original code was no longer working.

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.
