“Others have mentioned the over-dramatization, stilted reading, and misidentification of terms such as overhead. However, the liberal misuse of words like boot camp to describe shot crew training , deployment for fire assignments , cavalry, as well as calling smokejumper training skydiving exercises are evidence of either very poor editing and/or poor understanding of firefighting/research on the part of the writers. While these may seem like meaningless distinctions to the uninitiated, they make the well intentioned podcast seem like a poorly researched and over fluffed high school report. If the public is ever to understand wildfire you’ve got to get away from the dramatization and demonization of fire.”
