The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) provided an update on the Flatiron Fire. The fire burned 210 acres and was 100 percent contained on June 3 at 6 PM. Nice job and thanks to the NJFFS for working the fire and thanks to the local fire department from Medford Township and other nearby towns for providing structure protection. It has been a busy few days for firefighters in Burlington County. If you click more on the 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.
