I'd like to thank the anonymous poster who commented in the post I made on October 18th that there is a severe drought (D2) affecting portions of the Pine Barrens in NJ. I considered sharing the drought monitor map in yesterday's post but did not. Drought is one of the factors that can lead to an increased risk of wildfires.
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.
