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.
Earlier today I wrote about a major wildfire off of Route 539 in Little Egg Harbor Township (Ocean County NJ). I have good news to report, the NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) is reporting that this fire, known as the Governor's Branch Wildfire, has been 100% contained at 418 acres. I want to thank the NJ Forest Fire Service wildland firefighters and local fire companies who provided mutual aid for a job well done on a windy day. NJFFS crews will remain on patrol through the night.
