Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Wildfires in Colorado in 2012-13

It is a rather late on a busier than expected day where time got away from me. So I am sharing a video that I have bookmarked. This is a 28 minute video from the Denver Post about wildfires that ravished areas of Colorado in 2012 and 2013. Great journalism! Please take the time to watch the video, if not now bookmark it for later viewing.
