I have been following the Glory Fire that was first reported yesterday afternoon in Jackson Township, NJ. At one time, thirty structures were threatened with structure protection being provided by local fire companies. The fire is no at 100 percent containment having burned 82 acres. See my early posts on June 6th and the morning of June 7th for more information. Nice job everyone! Thanks to the crews of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, local fire companies, first responders, and the support of the community for your work on containing this fire. If you click more on the status update you will see some photographs of this wildfire.
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.
