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.

Enjoy this wonderful video by 6shopfilms summarizing the Diamond Mountain Hotshots 2022 fire season. Allow nine minutes to watch the video. You will see scenes of the hotshots on the fireline, some helicopter bucket work, a couple of airtankers over the fire, a larger helicopter dropping on a fire along with some fire footage.
