The New Jersey Forest Fire Service has had a cooperative arrangement with the Montana Department of Natural Resources since 2017. I enjoyed this video about cross-training where the training focused on using helicopters to release ping-pong sized spheres that can be used to ignite lands for prescribed burning. Depending on the configuration of your browser. you may not be able to see the embedded video, if that is the case, please use the direct link.
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.
