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.
Thanks to my good friend at the NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 website for telling me about the Dragway Wildfire. The Dragway Wildfire was reported late on the afternoon of August 20th. At the time I write this post, the Dragway Wildfire has burned 100 acres and is not contained. No structures are threatened and there are no road closures. New Jersey Forest Fire crews are currently working to build containment lines.
Update: August 20th, 10:21 PM
