Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

2017 Fire Season Video: Mill Creek Engine 34

Among the many different types of wildland firefighting crews that work wildfires are engine crew. Here is a nice video from Demetreus Gonzales highlighting the 2017 of Mill Creek Engine 34. While the total run time of the video is over 10 minutes, I think that the video stops at about the 7 minute 21 second mark. I am not quite certain where Mill Creek is, perhaps in California?
