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 wrote last week that I wanted to give more time to women who are on wildland firefighting crews. Here is a video report from ABC News reporting on why some women want to be wildland firefighters and some of the challenges that female wildland firefighters face.
