Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

2021 wildfire season: prescribed burning in New Jersey (1/20/2021)

Prescribed burning season in New Jersey continues. Yesterday, January 20th, Division B of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service conducted two prescribed burns in Burlington County, NJ

Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, Woodland Twp.
Wharton State Forest, Washington Twp.

I prepared the image below from Google Earth showing the approximate locations of the two prescribed burns. Both are in or near the New Jersey Pinelands (sometimes referred to as the NJ Pine Barrens).
