There is a wildfire burning on Joint Base McQuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The fire is being fought by wildland firefighters from the Joint Base who are doing back burning to contain the fire. It is expected that the fire will remain on the Joint Base property. As I write this, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service is not responding to this fire. Updates on this fire may be obtained from the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Facebook page that I will be monitoring.
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.
