Come Fight Louisiana Wildfires By Air ‘heading home’

Come Fight Louisiana Wildfires By Air ‘heading home’ poster art.

Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Aviation Department—North Louisiana: During a typical patrol flight pilots scan the horizon first for known smoke types to locate fires that have been turned into the district as a controlled burn and secondly, for fires of an unknown nature.  Pilots have training and years of acquired specialized experience that play a key role once smoke is spotted.   Fire and surrounding areas are scouted and the potential threat assessed; if required ground wild land fire crews will be directed to the fires by the most direct routes and assist with the placement of men and equipment on the fire.  Pilots provide ground crews with an airborne picture of the situation and give relevant information to the crews to combat the fire, protect property, structures and aid in the safe evacuation of the citizenry.
