2019 is not yet over and I suspect that there will be more wildfires to come here in the United States. But, I do want to pause to thank all the wildland firefighters on the ground and in the air for all you have done to protect us. What you do is dangerous and the work is hard. You take care of each other as you fight wildfires and perhaps you find time for a moment of humor, a quick bite to eat and then some sack time in a safe space. Many of you make the sacrifice of being away from your families, loved ones, and friends for months at a time. I make this post to honor your work and sacrifices to keep us safe from wildfires.

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.
