Tanker Pilot Dies In Colorado Wildfire

 
MyFoxColorado "A single-engine air tanker crashed, killing the pilot, who was battling a blaze at Fort Carson that had scorched 9,000 acres -- about 14 square miles -- and forced the evacuation of people living near the base. Firefighters were unable to get any part of that blaze contained by late last night, base spokesman Capt. Gregory Dorman said. Two shelters were set up at the post and another at a nearby community college to house the evacuees. The name of the pilot has not been released."

WildlandFire.com forums offers initial discussion on the sad news of the LODD (line of duty death) of a SEAT (Single Engine Air Tanker) pilot.
