I came across this video sometime in the last couple of weeks, perhaps from my friends at B10 NJ Wildland Fire Video of the Week page. I then came across the video again while on Youtube earlier this weeks perusing other wildfire related videos. I believe that the video, a 2017 fire season highlight video created by Micah Booze, shows an Alaska wildland firefighting crew.
Note the female pilot in the helicopter. Nice footage of helicopter operations including some shots from inside the helicopter. I enjoy all fire season videos by crews. I especially enjoyed this video for the great shots of aircraft working wildfires and the footage in a part of the country that I have not been to. Along with a shot of a little critter scurrying along the ground.
Allow about five minutes to watch the 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.
