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.
A couple of weeks ago, I made a post reporting about the $3 Million boost to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service's (NJFFS) Budget, see my September 22nd post for more information. While I had an idea of how the NJFFS would use these funds, e.g some will be used to purchase new vehicles and to modernize their fleet. Thanks to an October 5th report by CBS Philadelphia who provided a behind the scenes glimpse into how the NJFFS is using these funds to assemble new fire fighting vehicles.
