Continuing with the post that I wrote on March 27th, with an update on the Northwest Oklahoma Complex that burned 779,292 acres and is now at 100 percent containment, I want to share some videos that were posted on the Oklahoma Forestry Services Facebook page seven to ten days ago. Specifically, they posted a series of videos that they called #FacesoftheFire. I am sharing three of these #FacesoftheFire videos from the Oklahoma Forestry Services Facebook page. Enjoy.
Molly Green, Office Manager for Tyree Ag (posted on March 15th)
John Morgan, Safety Director with Laverne (OK), Fire Department (posted on March 19th)
John Brown, SEAT Pilot with Henry's Aerial Service out of Brinkley, Arkansas (posted March 20th)
Finally, Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today shared two stories from firefighters who fought the NW OK Complex on March 15th that you will want to look at.
I hope to wrap this series of updates about the NW OK Complex on April 3rd. Stay Tuned.
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.
