Aerial Firefighitng


We wanted to highlight a couple new products covering aerial firefighting.

First we have the bran new books and DVD combo Fire Bombers In Action. This book tells the history of aerial firefighting over the past four decades. A comprehensive list of fire bomber aircraft is included along with an hour long DVD featuring rare footage.

Alan Simmons adds to his great fire scene videos with Firefighting Airtankers "Aerial Assault". This 80 minute DVD features aerial firefighting action from southern California. Also included is a section on air operations narrated by retired USFS Toney Duprey, and vintage footage from 1999 of air tankers filmed at Paso Robles Air Attack Base. Alan once again produced a great, and highly recommended, video. You can find a complete listing of Alan Simmons Video Productions at www.fire-police-ems.com.

Also recommended is Aerial Firefighting. With over 350 pages and over 400 color photos, this is a must have for any aviation or firefighting enthusiast. The detailed text provides technical descriptions for forest fire fighting as well as speculation of the future of aerial firefighting.

All 3 are available from FSP Books and Videos, along with many other wildland firefighting books and DVDs. you can find them online at www.Fire-Police-EMS.com or call them at 800-522-8528.
