As we are already in or approaching wildfire season in many parts of the United States and Canada, I want to continue where I left on April 8 when I asked folk in New Jersey not to fly unmanned aircraft systems (aka drones) over or near wildfires.
Here is a nice, short video from the National Interagency Fire Center:

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.
