Not accurate.
As a former wildland firefighter, I'm happy to give any podcasts on wildfire a go. Sadly, this one follows in the footsteps of most podcasts by non-firefighters. I would have given it a pass had they solely focused on the Eagle Creek fire, but if your purpose is to give the history and future of "wildfire", why are you concentrating on forests? There is currently a MASSIVE change happening in the rangeland and grasslands of the western US, thanks to hundreds of thousands of acres burning across the Great Basin and beyond. By focusing only on forest fires, you're helping perpetuate the myth that we don't need to worry about the fires changing the landscape and flora in NV/UT/ID and the eastern PNW. Also, while I'm sure the Bend fire captain is correct in his description from a structure/emergency management standpoint, a Type I wildland incident does not necessarily impact "multiple states". I would have loved to hear the description of the ICS from someone at NIFC or with a federal agency dealing specifically with wildland fire (since that's the focus of the podcast).Read full review »

Excellent podcast. Always interesting, very informative, and presented with a clear reverence for both nature and for the people who cared for this land long before Europeans came to it.

A great blend of story telling, reporting and science. A must listen for anyone from the northwest. I found this podcast during the 2020 fire season in Oregon. It really struck home listening to this with the sky filled with smoke and ash.
