The other day I embedded three videos of the Valley Fire taken by Kent Porter of the Press Democrat (Santa Rosa, CA). I went to the Press Democrat today to see what they were reporting on the Valley Fire and saw an absolutely stunning blog post by Kent Porter (One Stop Under: The Valley Fire) where he shared his experience covering the Valley Fire last weekend along with some of his photographs. I hope that you take a few moments and look at Kent's blog post. All I can say is that words escape me.

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.
