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.
Just now hearing that the Turkey Buzzard Fire that burned 407 acres in the Brendon T. Byrne State Forest in Burlington County, NJ has been contained. The Batona Trail in the fire area remains closed, roads are open.
I want to give a shout out to the NJ Forest Fire Service for a job well done in fighting these two back to back wildfires. I am so very, very proud of you. You take good care of us in New Jersey.
