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.
I am making good progress on my final article on the 1871 Peshtigo Fire (see my October 8th and 15th posts for more information). At the last minute I ended up getting my COVID booster shot this afternoon so decided to hold off on posting this final (for now) article on the Peshtigo Fire until Monday.
In the meantime, enjoy this eleven minute video of air tankers and helicopters working the 450 acre Bridge Fire in Auburn, California in early to mid September.
