Thanks to a wildland firefighter friend for making me aware of a good, 20 minute video, from the National Fire Protection Association on structure protection in the wildland-urban interface. The video is apparently aimed at structure firefighters. Included among the issues that this video looks at are various techniques to protect structures in the interface, developing plans, communications, and the importance of training with with wildland firefighters. While aimed at structure firefighters, as someone who is not a firefighter but is an interested observer (so to speak) I learned a lot. I hope that you take the time to watch 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.
