NJ Forest Fire Service Aerial Operations

Direct link to April 2023 video from  Eyewitness News ABC7 NY on YouTube

I thank my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page who shared this April 2023 video on their webpage this morning. In this short video you will learn about how the NJ Forest Fire Service use airtankers and helicopters with buckets to support the firefighters on the ground. This video was shot during the spring 2023 wildfire season when airtankers were specifically on contract in NJ to fly wildfires. During other times of the year there is an airtanker and helicopters with buckets that are available if they are called upon. And I believe that the same applies to helicopters with buckets
