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.

Sam's Point Fire, Ellenville (Ulster County, NY)
Direct link to video from Recordonline (Middletown NY)
The Sam's Point fire started on April 23rd and has burned approximately 2,000 acres to date. Rainfall has helped, but drier conditions are expected to return later Wednesday into Thursday. See this April 26th article from the Recordonline (photo gallery and video) for more information. I got the map that I embedded above, thanks to a special report from the Recordonline (with some of the same information that I linked to earlier).
