The work is not done when a wildfire is contained and under control. Indeed for many wildfires, the all important post-fire recovery phase may have already begun before the wildfire is declared contained. Elsewhere I have written about post-fire recovery and will continue to do so as I can. See for example these posts on the 2015 Soda Fire Post-Fire Recovery and these posts on the Rim Fire (the later post focus on post-fire recovery). I am in the process of doing some background work in anticipation of resuming posting on the 2015 Soda Fire Post-Fire Recovery efforts soon. I have a little more work to do on the Rim Fire Post-Fire Recovery, so those posts will take a little longer to appear.
In the meantime, thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page (videos change weekly), I found a nice video on CAL FIRE's post-wildfire recovery.

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.
