One of the YouTube Channels that I follow is the channel of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. The NWCG website has a wealth of information. I am drawn to their publications listing as well as training information where I may learn about some of the initial and recurrent training that wildland firefighters go through, both are listed at the top of the page Under toolbox menu at the top of the page there is also information for the media, no I am not media, an FAQ and information for those thinking of becoming a wildland firefighter. The NWCG does many other things that I am not listing here and I go to their website and YouTube channel periodically. I did so today and while I was there, I noticed the 2021 WFSTAR Year in Review video. I am always interested in videos such as this as it takes me up close and personal from my study in New Jersey. In addition, this is another opportunity to continue learning. Thanks to all the wildland firefighters on the ground and in the air, and support crews for fighting these wildfires and keeping us safe. Perhaps the most important thing in this video is a focus on wildland firefighter safety on the fireline. The video is about twelve minutes long and I believe it was posted on YouTube around May 2022. Enjoy.
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.
