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.

2022 Wildfire Season: Entiat Hotshots 2022 Fire Season

Enjoy this video summarizing the 2022 fire season of the Entiat Hotshots, out of central Washington. According to the Facebook Page of the Entiat Hotshots some of the fires they worked in 2022 were the Calf Canyon and Hermit Peaks Fires in New Mexico, working assorted wildfires in Alaska, working various wildfires in Montana, and the Cedar Creek Fire in Oregon. Nice job Entiat Hotshots, stay safe during 2023.

I hope you enjoy this short video, under five minutes, summarizing the Entiat Hotshots 2022 fire season. I always like meeting the crew at the end of the video.
