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.
Smoke conditions continue from the Tea Time Hill Fire that burned in New Jersey at Wharton State Forest near the Batona Campground in early July of this year. Crews from the New Jersey State Forest Fire Service continue on site to mop up and monitor this fire. The fire is burning the duff layer as often happens in summer fires. Visitors to Wharton are advised to stay away burned areas. Nearby communities may experience smoke conditions.
