Podcasts about Fire Season

This week, we dig into this year's ongoing fire season.Since New Mexico's fire season began this spring, about 25 local jurisdictions have imposed some level of fire restriction. In May, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a state of emergency due to the state's severe drought and increased fire risk.

Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday received his first wildfire season briefing of the year. The outlook is a mixed bag. Most of Montana's land and fire management agencies say they're prepared for fire season. The weather forecast, however, is grim.

San Francisco's new fire chief says the City could be in trouble in case of a major emergency because of an aging fleet of fire trucks. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

She wasn't the first ship built in Collingwood, but she was the first of her kind! In this episode we explore the remarkable story of Hull #1, Huronic, the first steel vessel constructed at the Collingwood Shipyards, and the first in a prestigious trio of steamships known as the Three Sisters. For nearly 50 years the Huronic sailed the Great Lakes but in the end, it was her connection to her sister ships that would draw the Huronic into the shadow of their misfortunes and seal her fate.Following the story we invite you, our listeners to join us in celebrating May is Museum Month.

There's been a lot of postulating about whether the firing of some 4400 (and counting) Forest Service and National Park employees on Friday will have an impact on fire operations this summer. We spoke with Riva Duncan, who has decades of experience in fire operations for the US Forest Service (before retiring with the agency), and her answer couldn't be more clear: yes, these losses in capacity are already having an impact on our ability to suppress wildfires this summer. Riva is vice president of Grassroots Wildland Firefighters, which advocates and provides a voice for the wildfire workforce. Consider donating to support their work! 

On today's episode, we dive into the tech helping us respond to the growing risk of wildfires, including the use of AI systems and smoke detectors. Then, Sam speaks to Dr. Linda Charmaraman from the Youth, Media & Wellbeing Research Lab about a recent study that looks into misinformation on TikTok when it comes to diagnosing ADHD.

The fires in Los Angeles, fueled by drought and the notorious Santa Ana winds, have wreaked devastation on the largest county in the United States, taking at least 10 lives and destroying thousands of structures as of January 10—with much of the Los Angeles metropolis, suburban neighborhoods like Pasadena and Pacific Palisades engulfed in smoke, and tens of thousands of residents without homes. In this episode, environmental law expert Deborah Sivas joins Pam Karlan for a discussion of California's fire crisis, examining how climate change and urban development are making residents more susceptible to the dangers of fires. They also look at air quality, rebuilding challenges, insurance strains, and the broader implications for urban planning, labor, and environmental recovery, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions in an era of intensifying climate impacts.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Deborah A. Sivas >>> Stanford Law page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction, the Santa Ana Winds, and Fire DynamicsHost Pam Karlan introduces environmental expert Deborah Sivas. The two discuss the Santa Ana winds, their origins, and their role in fueling wildfires. They explore the interaction of high winds, parched landscapes, and the growing impact of climate change on fire frequency and intensity.(00:06:49) Chapter 2: Urban Fires and the Wildland-Urban InterfaceThe conversation shifts to the challenges of wildfires in urban and suburban areas. Sivas explains fire ignition sources, the difficulty of containment, and the need for defensible spaces. She highlights the vulnerability of areas at the wildland-urban interface and discusses practical steps to reduce fire risk, including vegetation management and retrofitting structures.(00:12:37) Chapter 3: Air Quality and the Broader Impacts of FiresSivas and Karlan examine the devastating effects of wildfire smoke on air quality, especially in densely populated regions like Los Angeles. They discuss how urban fires release toxic pollutants and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. The chapter emphasizes the broader environmental and health consequences of wildfires in an era of climate change.(00:16:46) Chapter 4: Climate Change, Insurance Challenges, and Recovery EffortsThe conversation shifts to the economic challenges posed by climate disasters, focusing on California's wildfire insurance crisis. Sivas explains private insurance limitations, the state's FAIR program, and rebuilding challenges, including rising construction costs and environmental cleanup.(00:23:17) Chapter 5: Firefighting, Displacement, and Economic ImpactKarlan and Sivas explore the complexities of wildfire response, including the reliance on inmate labor and firefighting logistics. They also discuss displacement, long-term housing issues, and the socioeconomic toll on affected communities and businesses.

What a surprise! Due to a quick turn of events we're able to interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a very special treat. Instead of discussing Shadow of Freedom, we were privileged to have Jane Lindskold join us, along with another visit by David Weber. As far as we can tell, there's no better reason to interrupt the plan than this. This was the first time we've had the chance to enjoy Jane's company, and the last time we were able to spend time with David was back in episode 22. Grab your favorite beverage, sit down and join us as we talk with Jane and David about their collective storytelling within the Honorverse!As you listen, remember Jane's contributions to the Honorverse are significant, including several short stories and novels. Her short stories include:"Queen's Gambit" – a short story in the Worlds of Honor anthology (discussed in episode 10)"Promised Land" – a short story in The Service of the Sword anthology (discussed in episode 15) "Ruthless" – a short story in the In Fire Forged anthology (discussed in episode 23)She's also co-authored four novels with David in the Star Kingdom story arc:Fire Season (discussed in episode 25)Treecat Wars (discussed in episode 28)A New Clan (scheduled for a future episode)Friends Indeed (available for purchase soon!)Jane and David talked briefly about the soon-to-be-released Star Kingdom novel Friends Indeed, mixed in among some great banter and information about these two story-telling power houses: how they met, how David brought Jane into the Honorverse, and how they've worked together since. We had time to ask Jane several that came from you, our listeners and fellow travelers as well. Not surprisingly, there were several questions we didn't get to ask due to time constraints, but also because as the discussion unfolded, some were answered before we could ask them. Schedules permitting, we hope to have Jane on again to cover even more ground with her work.Be sure to visit Jane's official website to find out more about the incredible volume of work she's done, and more about what's coming. You can find her at https://janelindskold.comOn the next episode we'll get right back to the normal schedule and discuss the novel Shadow of Freedom, no doubt invigorated by the exciting info and insights we've gained from our two most special of guests.As always, genuine thanks to each of you for listening, and especially folks who have found the time to send us comments—please keep them coming. If you haven't already done so, consider spreading the word to others who you know are Honor Harrington fans, or to those who might enjoy the Honorverse!You can find us, and all our episodes at http://honorverse.net, and email us at honorverse@tpenetwork.com.

We are jumping right into the second book in the Star Kingdom series, this one titled Fire Season. This one's a joint venture between David Weber and the now-familiar Jane Lindskold. Published by Baen, it came out at a comfortable 287 pages in October 2012. In the previous Star Kingdom novel, we met an 11-year-old Stephanie Harrington in part 1, then moved forward in Stephanie's life, approximately 16 months in Part 2. Here in Fire Season, Stephanie is now 14, turning 15 years old.While this is another “treecat novel” and the treecats are featured characters, the story really focuses on Stephanie, her schoolmates, her parents, and several other adults central to her life, and a team of scientists who arrive on Sphinx with a more official charter to study the treecats. We learn a lot more about Stephanie and the changes she's going through as she's maturing from a child into a young adult. Given she's growing up on a frontier world, it's exciting to see just how much she and some of her friends are trusted with and expected to do as they become contributors to the society around them. Or perhaps “societies” would be more accurate since the events of the novel certainly include the treecats. The combination of the impact of fire season along with the visiting scientists leads to an action-packed, dramatic story that adds some beautiful depth to several characters, as well as richness, history and complexity to the Honorverse.One thing we reinforce in the podcast is that while this series is written for young adults, there are no punches pulled in terms of the story. If you tend to shy away from “YA” novels, do yourself a favor and be sure to read all of them in the Star Kingdom series. As you know from our second interview with David Weber, he doesn't avoid complex, heavy or dark issues that need to be a part of the broader story just because some of his books are written for our young adult Honorverse family members. These novels were written for the rest of the more “seasoned” adults out there, too. We're confident you won't be disappointed.We rated Fire Season with a 5, a 4.5 and a 5 (out of 5), for an overall rating of 4.83 from your hosts.As always, thank you for listening and big thanks to those of you who also take the time to like and follow us on social media, to comment on our posts even reach out through a longer note.Next time on the Honorverse Today podcast, we're back into the main storyline, jumping into the novel A Rising Thunder.

Well, we're finally breaking into the Star Kingdom series, starting with the novel entitled A Beautiful Friendship. While they're closely related to each other, don't confuse this novel with the short story by the same name contained in the first anthology we discussed a while back (More Than Honor). The short story and this novel were both written by David Weber, with this novel first published in October 2011 by Baen.The first third (or so) of the novel reprises the original 1998 short story. For those who read “More Than Honor”, this is a quick and very good refresh of the events of Stephanie Harrington and Climbs Quickly's first meeting, and their subsequent “adoption” of each other—the first human-treecat pairing. For those who didn't read the anthology, including the story here is an act of kindness on David Weber's part, ensuring all readers have the necessary backstory to understand what happens after the news of the discovery of another sentient species spreads throughout the Star Kingdom of Manticore. We watch Stephanie and Scott MacDallan (the only other human a treecat has adopted at the time) struggle with how to deal with local attitudes, questions, and curiosities. I think it's safe to say that Stephanie and Scott's protectiveness not only comes from both being genuinely caring people, but also the influenced of their new relationships with their treecats. This isn't the caring or bond that a loving pet owner has with an animal. What we see, and along with the characters don't fully understand, is this relationship between the human people and the treecat people is unique and deep. As a result, they struggle to manage just how much they share about what they know about treecats with the significant influx of scientists visiting Sphynx. Others come too, some with bad intent—and so the story unfolds. As with the original short story, we get to see both sides of the human-treecat relationship as both societies / cultures struggle with how to move the relationship forward. This dynamic would be interesting in general since we're talking about two sentient species, but it's made more complicated by the fact that two pairings have occurred. Like the other story arcs captured within various series, the Star Kingdom storyline informs us about human-treecat relationship and how it sits as a unique and central part of the Honorverse. We rated A Beautiful Friendship with a 5, a 4 and a 5 (out of 5), for an overall rating of a 4.7.As always, thank you for listening and big thanks to those of you who also take the time to like and follow us on social media, to comment on our posts, or to even reach out through a longer note.Next time on the Honorverse Today podcast, we're moving straight into the second book in the Star Kingdom series: Fire Season.

With the recent devastation in Jasper, Alberta, we wanted to revisit this episode we recorded back in April with author, John Vaillant, where he explains why wildfires have become more common, and much harder to fight. We hope you find it informative, and our hearts go out to all those affected by the current fires. ----------------------------------------------------------ORIGINAL SHOW NOTESToday, evacuation alerts for several communities in BC and Alberta are in effect. You may not have noticed, because there are always evacuation alerts in effect now, and there are always fires burning, some of them out of control. When the whole country takes notice is when the skies over entire provinces go dark, the air turns bad or a blaze like the Fort McMurray fire in 2016 blitzes through a city.All of that will probably happen this year. The conditions are ripe for it, and there's not much we can do to prevent a devastating fire when it comes. But we can evolve our strategies as the fires get bigger. We can adapt. But...will we?GUEST: John Vaillant, author, Fire Weather: The making of a beast We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
