I wrote about Coulson's operations in Chile the other day including their use of night vision goggles for their night aerial fire suppression operations. Coulson has a very nice Facebook Page (here)where they make good use of social media to share about the Air Tankers, Helicopters, Helitankers and supporting aircraft deployed to help the crews on the ground fight wildfires. At this time of year they are working in Australia and Chile. I saw a nice post on their NVG (night vision goggle) fire operations in Australia and California, and now in Chile. I want to share their post with you. If you do not have a Facebook account and want to see the entire post, this link should take your directly to the post with the need to log into Facebook.
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.
