Enjoy this documentary from Chris Terril as he joins an inmate wildland firefighting crew known as the "Good Bad Guys" fight wildfires in southern California. This is (or was) done with the cooperation of CAL FIRE and the California Department of Corrections. Some of the footage is from 2008. The video is one of a number of documentaries available on the Real Stories Channel on Youtube. Allow 45 minutes to watch the video. Thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page for sharing this video.

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.
