I want to start by sharing a photo of T-61 (Downstown Aero) on contract with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service for the next month, you may go to this Downstown Aero Facebook post to see a nice photo of T-61, an Air Tractor 602. I have had the pleasure of meeting T-61 up close in personal in prior years both while she was on contract with the NJFFS and while she was spraying the cranberry bogs. Then I met her in northern New Jersey while she was seeding a couple of years ago. A truly magnificent aircraft flown be great pilots who love her.
From the NJFFS Section A3 District Wardens Association sharing some photos of the Frelinghuysen Fire in Warren County NJ on April 13th on this Facebook post on their Facebook Page. Nice job Section A3 wildland firefighters and mutual aid firefighters!
On April 14, 2018 NJFFS Section B10 reported on a 28-acre wildfire in Browns Mills near Whitesbog Village in the NJ Pine Barrens. Thanks and nice job Section B6 wildland firefighters and any mutual aid firefighters who may have helped you out.
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.
