Podcasts about Fire Season

NASA data can be used to better understand how much fuel a potential wildland fire might have.

Wildfires in Europe so far in 2026 have been vast and ferocious. The destruction and loss of life have been on a new scale in France, Spain, Greece and even in Britain. Professor of pyrogeography David Bowman reflects on the firewave and how Tasmania is preparing for fire and a record-breaking El Niño.

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Monday, Aug. 24, 2026.

It's only mid-August, and Watch Duty CEO John Mills says it's only going to get worse. With British Columbia under a province-wide state of emergency and Spokane still reeling from the most destructive wildfire in Washington state history, Mills joins Rapid Response to take us inside the most catastrophic fire season his team has ever faced. Since the LA wildfires made Watch Duty a household name, the nonprofit has doubled its headcount and revenue — growth Mills describes as a little too wild for comfort. He talks about the decision to expand into flood monitoring across all 50 states, the controversial partnership with Ring cameras, and what it actually takes to scale a life-saving operation without investors, a cap table, or the luxury of getting it wrong.

What happens when your greatest strength becomes your biggest vulnerability?In this episode we sit down with ultra runner, journalist and first-time author Chris Marritt to discuss his forthcoming book Did Not Fail, a deeply personal exploration of what happens when a runner encounters their first ever DNF after 24 years of always finding a way to the finish line.Chris takes us through the highs and lows of the legendary Ring of Fire around Anglesey, a race that broke him emotionally, challenged his identity as a runner, and ultimately taught him more than any finish line ever could. From sleepless nights in tents and self-doubt on the coastal path, to returning a year later for redemption, this is a conversation about failure, resilience, self-awareness and discovering your true "why". Whether you've DNF'd, missed a target, struggled through a race, or wrestled with disappointment in any area of life, this episode will resonate."I now think of that first DNF as the best race of my life. It wasn't the most enjoyable, far from it, but the impact it had on my running and beyond running was enormous." Chris Marritt, 2026Look out for Did Not Fail, available from 19 August, where Chris shares the full story of failure, growth, resilience and eventual redemption. If you've ever experienced a DNF, a setback, or a race that taught you more than success ever could, we'd love to hear your story. Because sometimes the most important finish line isn't the one you cross... it's the one that changes you.

We all want revival to fall, but before the fire falls on a crowd, it falls on you. In this message Nate opens up what he calls fire season: the personal, private burning where God clears out everything that was never you, so that what's left can carry His power. Through the story of Elijah and the wilderness of Jesus, you'll see that the fire you're in isn't judgment, God is working powerfully to ready you for the very thing you have been praying for!

KSL's Top Story:The areas of Utah that have been hardest hit this fire season are getting a little more support... after Governor Cox and US Forest service chief Tom Schultz toured the region today.    KSL Newsradio’s Heather Peterson is Live with the details. 

Washington is facing one of its worst wildfire seasons in years, with hundreds of thousands of acres burned, hundreds of structures destroyed, and thousands of families forced to evacuate. In this episode, we examine the Spokane Complex, the statewide emergency declaration, and the growing debate over forest management, prescribed burns, environmental regulations, and fuel reduction. Is this simply the result of drought, heat, and wind, or have decades of land management policies made these fires more destructive than they needed to be? We break down the facts, the policy decisions, and why many firefighters, foresters, and rural residents believe it's time for a fundamental shift in how Washington manages its forests.#WashingtonWildfires #SpokaneFire #Wildfire #ForestManagement #PublicSafety #WashingtonState #PrescribedBurns #DNR #EmergencyPreparedness #WildfirePrevention #EnvironmentalPolicy #CurrentEvents #PacificNorthwest #LeftCoastNews

In Dubois, prospective volunteers can reach Chief Mike Franchini at 307-450-7625. Those interested in Lander City Fire can call 307-332-2209.

When this episode was recorded and later posted on July 23, 2026, Ely resident and Wilderness guide LynnAnne Vesper had been evacuated from her home due to the Camp Fire--the closest of several fires burning in the Superior National Forest, the Boundary Waters Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park. The fires were ignited during a lightening storm that moved across the region and into Ontario, Canada on July 7th, 2026. When the evacuation order was issued, Vesper was on a Boundary Waters trip in the numbered lakes area east of Ely. In this candid conversation, she shares her thoughts on "the unprecedented nature of these fires," including her personal observations on the conditions that were present in the Wilderness before the storm moved through, including the prevalence of dead Balsam Fir trees caused by Spruce Budworm, unusually hot, dry weather and other factors that created explosive fire conditions across the region. Vesper also explains her understanding of the term "natural" fire and what she views as public misconceptions about the history of wildfire in the Boundary Waters, and gives an update on smoke conditions and community morale in Ely. We also speak with Erik Carlson, fire technician and "burn boss" for the Grand Portage Band of Ojibwe, who offers historical and cultural context about fires, prescribed burns and wildfire management as it relates to the BWCAW.

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.

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.

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.

For all our advances in prevention and prediction, planning and communication, bushfires keep claiming our lives and our homes. How can we avoid another Ash Wednesday or Black Saturday?Danielle Clode has lived in the bushfire danger zone and studied the past and recent history of fire management and fire-fighting. Here she tells the complex story of Australia's relationship with fire, from indigenous practices to country fire brigades and royal commissions—as well as her own story of living with the threat of fire. A Future in Flames is a vivid history, a sombre reflection and an invaluable guide for living and dealing with fire.   1906 CHINATOWN
