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.
According to this December 2nd evening update from the North Carolina Forest Service, the Grindstone Fire in Pilot Mountain State Park (Surry County) NC has burned 1,050 acres and is at 90 percent containment. The fire was caused by a camp fire in an undesignated area (see this Dec 2nd press release from the NC Forest Service)
