On a rather windy day in spring fire season here in New Jersey and environs following some thunderstorms over night, we are still seeing moderate fire danger in the northern and southern portions of New Jersey with central New Jersey seeing low fire danger. All this could change quickly. Perhaps it would be too windy for the SEATs and helicopters to fly? Anyway, I always hope for the best during our spring fire season and the rest of year. Thank-you NJ Forest Fire Service crews who work to to keep us in New Jersey safe.
Please enjoy the 2018 crew video from the Geronimo Hotshots. The Geronimo Hotshots are from the San Carlo Apache Tribe. Please take a moment to pause and remember the wildland firefighters, and their families, who have given their lives in the line of duty to keep us safe.

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.
