Yesterday evening, June 19th, I wrote about the Acorn Hill Wildfire burning in the Brendon J. Byrne State Forest in Burlington County, New Jersey. Good news, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service reported earlier this morning that this 246 acre fire is at 100 percent containment (fire line completed around the fire). News 12 New Jersey filed a report a short time ago that may be found on this web page. CBS Philadelphia recently updated their reporting on this fire, I found their report here.
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.
