Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

2024 Wildfire Season: More Wildfires in MA, PA, and NYC (Nov 5 and 6)

I was focusing on wildfires in New Jersey for the last few days on my blog, however, I want to assure you that I am aware of high wildfire danger elsewhere in the Mid-Atlantic on the Northeastern United States. To that end, I will share three videos that my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page shared yesterday and today. These videos cover specific wildfires but I am certain that there are other wildfires in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. I am not sure about New York City.
