In the aftermath of the devastating flooding rains in North and South Carolina and into Virginia, the Coast Guard has been hard at work on the ground, and as conditions permit, using helicopters to help flood victims. Here is some footage.

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.
