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.
The Microwave Fire in Rockaway Township, Morris County continues to burn. The acreage burned remains at 77acres and containment has increased to 85 percent. Three houses are threatened, down from 30 houses on October 20th. Of note is that helicopters with a 350 gallon bucket made 15 drops on this fire on Saturday afternoon. There is one road closure in the area and no evacuations.
