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.
Good news! The Allen Road Fire that burned 5,475 acres in Bass River State Forest in Burlington County has reached 100 percent containment. NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) will continue to work the fire to clean up any hot spots and monitor the control lines. Nice work NJFFS crews, local fire companies, police and other first responders for working this fire or providing assistance to the crews. Thanks to the residents of near by communities for providing food, water, etc. to the crews.
