Some of you may recall that I was following the Sam's Point Fire that ultimately burned 2,028 acres in Ulster County, NY before being contained on April 29th. I wrote about this wildfire in posts on April 26, April 27th, April 28th, and May 2nd.
Just today I ran across a nice video posted by NYFFT1 with images and videos from their 2016 wildfire season, including images from the Sam's Point Fire, and some prescribed burns in the Albany NY Pine Bush Preserve, and the Sherwood Wildfire
Nice work NYFFT1, looking forward to more videos from you.

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.
