New Jersey Advanced Media did a nice video report last week about New Jersey's prescribed burning season. I knew about the video report but only learned today that it was posted on Youtube. Thanks to my friends from the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page for sharing this video. You will learn about how prescribed burns are done in New Jersey and how some of the trees in the New Jersey Pine Barrens need the heat from fire to reproduce.

In the following 3 minute video you will learn about a prescribed burn done in New Hampshire last year to improve the habit that the endangered New Hampshire Karner Blue Butterfly needs in order to recover and reproduce.

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.
