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.
This is (hopefully) the final update for the Halloween Fire that burned 137 acres in Downe Township, Cumberland County. The fire is at 90 percent containment at 6 PM on Sunday, November 3rd. The NJ Forest Fire Service will be on the scene for several days to monitor the fire and improve containment lines. Earlier posts on the Halloween Fire may be found in my November 3rd post.
