Description
On Today’s Show: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/ I lay out the case for hazard pay on Prescribed fire. It could actually save money, increase retention, and, one could argue, make the RX environment more safe. In the last few weeks, there have been major and severe injuries on prescribed burns around the Nation. I cover the fatalities that have occurred in RX burns in the last few years as well. I cover the Hotshot injured in Tennessee. There was another entrapment in California. We discuss the report on this incident, why it happened, and how it went down. Plus more.
