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.
At 8 PM tonight, January 8th, the NJ Forest Fire Service reported that the Tea Time Hill Wildfire in Wharton State Forest in Tabernacle Township, Burlington County has burned 4,300 acres and is at 90 percent containment. Some roads and trails remain closed in and around Wharton State Forest. Kudos and much respect for the NJ Forest Fire Service Wildland firefighters who worked this fire in extreme heat and humidity.
