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.

NASA Satellite Image (Aug 16th) of Fires in Pacific Northwest USA
I thought that some of you might be interested in a NASA Satellite image of the fires in the Pacific Northwest collected by the Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua Satellite on August 16, 2015. The red spots on the image are very warm surface temperatures or hot spots. For more information about this image and the fires in the image go to this NASA webpage.
