The number of hot, dry, windy days is increasing, setting the stage for fires. Wildfire season is off to an awful start. In March, Nebraska had its largest wildfire in state history. Right now, a fire outside of LA is forcing evacuations. While the federal government spends about $3 billion on wildfire suppression each year, most of that is being spent, and states are having to fill the gaps. Also: why Google is "leading the way" in the AI race.

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour -1 (5.18.26) There’s a fire in Simi Valley; residents have been evacuated. And it’s horse country, so the equine have to giddy-up outta there, too. There’s a new evacuation order in Burro Flats on the other side of the hill from Simi Valley. There’re now several fires burning across the Valley. Should fires be named after the celebrity who lives closest to where it broke out? A shooting today at a San Diego Islamic center has left five people dead. The shooters were two teenage boys, aged 17 and 19, who later died by suicide in their car. One of the people who was shot dead was the mosque security guard, a father of eight. Back to the fire, precision drops in Runkle Canyon on Sandy Fire, Bell Canyon and Burro Flats evacuations orders. Four other fires are burning. Wind bursts are expected tomorrow morning. Air quality in the SFV is heavily impacted. And it’s only heating up as the week progresses. It’s gonna be hotter than hell across greater LA from now until November.

As wildfires grow larger and more destructive across the West, state governments are having a hard time paying for response and prevention. Oregon lawmakers were called into an emergency session in December 2024 after the state’s most expensive fire season left the Oregon Department of Forestry with nearly $100 million in unpaid bills. They also created a new tax in the 2025 session on nicotine pouches, such as Zyn, to fund wildfire prevention.   Kyle Williams is the deputy director of fire operations for ODF. He joins us with more details about the state’s wildfire funding ahead of what could be a historic fire season.  

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom… First, officials in Snohomish County are seeking emergency permission to fix a crumbling levee near the city of Stanwood. Next, and this fire season is poised to be historic – not just because of the record-low snowpack and unprecedented spring heat. It will also be the first for the U.S. Wildland Fire Service. And finally, every spring, purple martins fly to Tacoma. The migratory birds travel over six-thousand miles from Brazil to breed here. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.

The U.S. Forest Service is heading for a major restructure. Its headquarters are moving from D.C. to Utah, all regional offices are being eliminated, and dozens of research facilities across 31 states are being shuttered.

Three forest service research stations in Utah are being closed as part of the US Department of Agriculture's plans to restructure the Forest Service and move the headquarters to SLC. Greg and Holly discuss what is known and the big picture impact as fire season gets closer.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Darren Clifford. Clifford runs the Caught the Fire Bug website, which aims to provide wildfire news across the country, largely with employees who have been firefighters themselves, like Clifford. The CTFB mission is to “tell wildfire stories, spread awareness, and educate the public about the wildfires that threaten our landscapes.” Clifford, who now lives in Riverton, shares his story of moving from structure firefighting to wildland firefighting, and then to wildfire news reporting, for which CTFB was a major contributor during the Wyoming wildfires Fremont County experienced in the summer of 2025. Additionally, Clifford discusses the other fire mitigation services CTFB provides, what folks should be on the lookout for during the upcoming fire season following a mostly moisture-less Winter, a mini-lesson on what fire containment means, and more. Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Clifford below!

Shearer supply outstrips demand as work begins to increase into spring, farmers selling as many bales as possible in the hopes the wool price stays strong, and the CFS announces start dates for several of South Australia's fire ban districts.

Philip Connors grew up on a farm in Minnesota, studied journalism, and got a job at the Wall Street Journal. But after the September 11 attacks and the death of his brother, he left New York behind and took a job as a fire lookout in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. Following in the footsteps of other fire lookout writers, poets, and philosophers, like Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, and Jack Loeffler, he wrote his first book, Fire Season, in 2011. Since then he written three more books, the latest of which, The Mountain Knows the Mountain, incorporates poetry — particularly haiki — to engage both playful and profound ways of looking at the natural world and the state of our society.

Pastor Dorrell examines Numbers chapter 3, exploring the divine organization of Israel around the Tabernacle and the specific role given to the Levites. This detailed structure highlights a crucial principle: God must be the center of our lives. Using the Levites' duty to guard the Tabernacle and the sobering account of Nadab and Abihu offering "strange fire," this message challenges the modern tendency toward a casual, self-styled faith. It calls us to consider how we approach God, urging a return to reverent, thoughtful, and sincere worship that is rooted in the truth of God's holiness, not our own comfort or preference.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Hey, soccer fans! Nick is back, pulled muscle and all, talking about Chicago Fire FC's latest result: a 2-1 loss at home to expansion side San Diego FC. Andres Dreyer showed the Windy City why he was voted an All-Star, and the Men in Red showed why their defense and depth still need work. Tune in as Nick breaks down the stats and key plays from the match. We then preview the Fire's next matchup, and away game at Atlanta United, another team struggling this season. Nick thinks the Fire's season hangs in the balance and the results of the next match could decide the team's fate. In the second half of the show, Nick reads and reacts to an ESPN article reporting on discussions between FIFA and players' groups for mandatory breaks during the International Match Calendar. While he praises the initiative and the willingness of FIFA to partake in the discussions, he remains skeptical of any meaningful change anytime soon.
