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.
I provided a few updates on the Allen Road Fire in my June 1st post where you might want to go for some history and some media coverage. As you can see, according to the last available update from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, the Allen Road Fire in Bass River State Forest remains at 5,000 acres burned. The good news is that containment has risen to 80 percent. No structures are threatened and a couple of roads near the fire remain closed.
