Direct link to November 21st video from FreedomNews TV NYC on YouTube
I again thank my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page for sharing this video on their webpage the other day. I am always interested in the work that structure and wildland firefighters do to work and contain small brushfires. There are a large number of smaller wildfires or brush fires in New Jersey every year. I know that many brush fires in New Jersey are small and able to be contained by structure firefighters as appears to be the case with this wildfire in Franklin Lakes NJ (Bergen County) that burned near homes, fortunately the areas burned by this brush fire was large enough enabling the firefighters to contain the fire before it could reach the homes. I have a high level of confidence that the brush fire that you are seeing in this video is the same brush fire reported by News12 New Jersey about a brush fire that burned was reported at about 4 AM on November 19th and was under control by 5:30 AM. Structure firefighters from nearby communities helped fight this brush fire. I do not know the size of the brush fire. I applaud all the structure firefighters for their good work in bringing this brush fire under control in a short time frame.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.
