I am glad to see that the New Jersey Forest Fire Service started to do prescribed burns in northern New Jersey yesterday March 19th. This probably meant that things have finally dried out enough up here, including snow melt, to allow for prescribed burns. For reference, the NJFFS has a county map of New Jersey showing current fire conditions and a listing of counties assigned to the three NJFFS divisions here. Middlesex County is split between Division A (northern NJ) and Division B (central NJ).

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.
