I came across a December 23rd Facebook post from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection the agency that houses the NJ Forest Fire Service just now. They have done a series of what they call DEP snapshots to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary in 2020. This is their installment, after providing a summary of the 2020 fire season in New Jersey they offer a snapshot of the 2007 wildfire season, the year that the Warren Grove Fire burned more than 17,000 acres in the Pine Barrens. Their Facebook post should be embedded below, you will have to click "see more" to read the entire post or if you prefer you may go the link provided in this paragraph.
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.
