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.

The Big Burn (1910)
I recently came across a documentary from American Experience (PBS) on Youtube about the 1910 Wildfire known as the Big Burn. I recall seeing this on PBS last year. It is well worth the time to watch it (about 55 minutes). Enjoy.
