I want to take a moment and pause to remember three Chilean wildland firefighters, known as brigadiers from the Chilean National Forest Corporation who died on January 15th fighting wildfires in Chili.
Please join me in remembering and praying for:
Ricardo Salas
Sergio Faundez
Wilfredo Salgado

Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today on January 17th
I offer my condolences to the families, friends, colleagues and all who loved Ricardl, Sergio, and Wilfredo.
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.
