Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

historic wildfires: 1985 Middlesex County NJ

On April 19, 1985, a wildfire burned at least 600 acres in Monroe Township in Middlesex County, NJ. Thanks to my friends at the NJFFS Section B10 who found some audio clips and photos from this fire and put together a six minute video on YouTube.
