I am sharing a thirty second video from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service of the Jimmy's Waterhole Fire that burned 3,859 acres in Manchester Township (Ocean County), threatening 170 structures with evacuations of 75 structures. No structures were damaged and no injuries were reported. I again want to thank the New Jersey Forest Fire Service and all Mutual Aid responders for your work containing this wildfire and keeping us safe.
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.
