The Sandy Fire is at 100 percent containment as of May 27th at 2,183 acres. I don't always post when a wildfire is contained, however I found a video of ground and aerial operations at the Sandy Fire dated May 22nd that I wanted to share, at that time the fire was at 61 percent containment.
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.
