New Jersey continues to green up nicely, at least in my part of the state with forecasts of rain or showers for this weekend. Even so, it is always prudent never to let your guard down. Wildfires can and do happen, sometimes when you least expect it.
So far, today is quiet and I am taking the rest of the day off for some rest and recreation with a friend. I leave you with this video retrospective from my friends at the NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10. This is a best of video of wildland fires in NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 and around New Jersey. A variety of photos: helicopters, SEATs, engines and dozers, shots of wildfires, wildland firefighters working fires, prescribed fires, etc.

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.
