Please enjoy these two videos of military helicopters working wildfires in support of the wildland firefighters on the ground. Both videos were uploaded by Gung Ho Vids.
In the first video, from 2014, you will see U.S. Marine helicopters working out of Camp Pendleton in southern California.

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.
