Podcasts about fireline

The American West is burning. We need to adapt. But what does it really mean to live with fire?  Today's guest has spent years trying to answer that question. Nick Mott is an award-winning journalist, podcast producer (Threshold, MTPR's The Wide Open, Fireline), and now author of the book This is Wildfire: How to Protect Yourself, Your Home, and Your Community in the Age of Heat, which he co-authored with Justin Angle, host of A New Angle and a professor at Montana State University's College of Business. Nick joins WLA's Zach Altman for a conversation about fire - where we've been, how we got here and what we can do now. They discuss forest management and insurance markets, prescribed burns and Indigenous fire knowledge, and how community might be the most powerful firefighting tool we've got.  Find the show notes here.  

Alex Potter is a photojournalist, trauma nurse, former wildland firefighter, and co-founder of Global Response Medicine, a humanitarian non-profit bringing emergency medicine to low-resource and high-risk areas. Alex spent her early career photographing conflict in the Middle East, before spending two seasons as a wildland firefighter in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. She then moved to Alaska to pursue a career as an Air Force Combat Rescue Officer and was selected in Phase 2 of the CRO pipeline in 2022. While a twist of fate (and knee) changed that path, she remains passionate about mountain pursuits, far-forward medicine, and the ability to help others achieve their goals. She is a current board member of the Special Operations Climbers Coalition, and recently moved to Bozeman, Montana.More about Alex: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexkpotter/Global Response Medicine: https://global-response.org/Photography: https://www.alexkaypotter.com/Support GRM: https://givebutter.com/AcuteCareTimestamps:00:00:22 Introduction to Alex Potter00:01:14 Piecing Together Alex Potter's Career00:04:48 Combat Rescue Officers VS.

Back in a moment  Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Cherokee Sheriff's Office Starting Drone ProgramThe Cherokee Sheriff's Office is launching a new drone program after receiving approval from the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners. The program will include two drones purchased through Axon Air at a total cost of $325,330.52, spread over a six-year contract. These drones will aid in locating missing adults with dementia and children, as well as providing valuable aerial perspectives during emergency responses. The Axon Air system offers features like automated tracking, unlimited data storage, live streaming, and compatibility with various drones. Funding for the program will come from the CSO's annual operating budget, and the office already uses Axon for officer-worn body cameras and car cameras. STORY 5: Kemp Signs Controversial Election Law Changes Governor Brian Kemp has signed a package of election law changes supported by Republicans but criticized by Democrats and voting-rights advocates. The bills, signed on Tuesday, include Senate Bill 189, which facilitates mass voter challenges, eliminates QR codes from paper ballots, and eases requirements for third-party presidential candidates. House Bill 1207 allows fewer voting machines, mandates U.S. citizenship for poll workers, and grants closer access for poll watchers, while House Bill 974 mandates more audits of statewide election results and sets up a statewide system to scan and post paper ballots. Republican supporters argue these laws will enhance election integrity, but critics, like the ACLU, see them as imposing barriers to voting access. Most of Senate Bill 189 will be effective before the November elections. Commercial: RHIENEHARDT BLUEGRASS – INGLES 3 STORY 6: Cherokee County Fire Department Getting New Trucks Cherokee County's fire department is on track for an upgrade with newly funded fire engines and aerial apparatus. The Board of Commissioners has given a unanimous nod for a $5.1 million investment in five fire engines and an additional $3.7 million for a 75-foot aerial and a 95-foot mid-mount platform apparatus from FireLine, Inc. This acquisition, funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 2024, adheres to the National Fire Protection Association's guidelines, heralding a significant leap in community safety standards. With the first batch of engines expected by June 2025, the county demonstrates its dedication to reinforcing its emergency response capabilities. STORY 7: America's Truck & Hitch in Canton Celebrates 30 Years America's Truck & Hitch, a family-owned truck and trailer accessories store in Canton, celebrates its 30th anniversary. Originally opened as America's Tire Center in 1994 by Guy Lathem, the business transitioned to its current focus on truck accessories under the leadership of his daughter, Mandy Lathem-Hogan, in 2010. To mark the occasion, they're hosting an event on May 11, offering food and drinks to visitors. The company has thrived by catering to both commercial and private customers, becoming north Georgia's largest truck accessory dealer. Despite being in a male-dominated industry, Lathem-Hogan has successfully led the business, with her family actively involved in its operations. We'll have closing comments after this.

Enter the spectacle and drama of a megafire, alongside a firefighting team struggling to save anything they can while protecting each other. FIRELINE takes audiences into the firescape, to feel for the first time what those fighting these blazes face, especially as climate change makes megafires larger and more frequent. It's an intimate portrait of a system stretched to its breaking point, revealing the friendship, heartbreak, and exhilaration experienced by those who go to war against this elemental force. FIRELINE focuses on three firefighters from the Cal Fire Lassen-Modoc Unit, and their harrowing experience fighting a megafire for 36 emotional hours. The filmmakers also worked with The California Fire Foundation, which provides emotional support to families of fallen firefighters, firefighters and the communities they protect. Director Tylor Norwood joins us for a conversation on the importance of connecting to the people who can open doors for a filmmaker into an otherwise insulated world, and standing a few feet from a roaring inferno while filming the people trying to fight it.

Professor Brent Ruby graduated from SPU in ‘89 with a degree in Exercise Science. He now serves as a professor at the University of Montana where his research includes the physical and mental toll fighting wildland fires has on the people who battle these blazes. Being away from loved ones can also weigh on firefighters, which led Ruby to write a children's book called “Wrango and Banjo: On the Fireline,” that tells the story of a canine fire crew battling wildfires, with the goal of helping the children of these heroes better understand the demands of their parents' job.

Bobbie Scopa has had quite a long and storied fire career—she recently retired after 45 years working in both wildland and municipal fire, during which she worked her way into the Chief position and into numerous leadership positions over her career with the Forest Service. Notably, she was present on the Dude Fire in 1990, where six firefighters were tragically killed, and even served at Ground Zero after 9/11.But Bobbie's story doesn't start and end with firefighting. She's also a trans woman, and has experienced the fire world as both a man and woman, having transitioned to female between fire seasons in the late 1980s. This gives Bobbie an exceedingly rare perspective on gender dynamics on the fireline—perspectives that she now shares widely through her podcast, Bobbie on Fire, as well as her new book, Both Sides of the Fireline, which is available for pre-order and will be released this fall. Through it all, Bobbie maintains an incredible ability to tell stories that serve not only as valuable lessons learned, but often as funny and relatable anecdotes for anyone who has worked in fire—and especially for those who are underrepresented in the fire space. To hear more of Bobbie's stories, check out her podcast and website. To pre-order Bobbie's book, find it on Barnes and Noble  or through our host's favorite local bookstore, Village Books in Fairhaven, WA. For more information on our newest sponsor, #ForestProud, check out their website. To support Life with Fire, check out our Patreon. 

There's a chance you've seen Nez Perce wildland firefighter and model Celilo Miles in a recent advertisement for Victoria's Secret—in it, she wears Nomex pants and holds her hard hat, emblazoned with the Nez Perce Tribe's fire management program logo. After seeing the ad making the rounds in the wildland fire community, we tracked Celilo down to chat about her background as both a wildland firefighter and a model and how her appearance in the VS advertisement came about. She spoke about balancing modeling and fire, and what each vocation has taught her about the other. We also spoke about the dynamic of being a woman in fire, during which she provided some suggestions for other woman who are interested in fire or are just getting started.This episode is the first in our series on women in wildfire, which will run until early May. Celilo in Vogue Magazine: https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/victorias-secret-love-cloud-launch-celilo-miles-interviewLife with Fire Patreon: www.patreon.com/lifewithfirepodLife with Fire website: www.lifewithfirepodcast.comLife with Fire email: lifewithfirepod@gmail.com

This time on Fireline, we're bringing you an episode from our friends at On The Green Fence.  On The Green Fence is a podcast that explores complex and often divisive environmental topics where the best way forward isn't always clear. This episode focuses on the relationship between sustainability and tourism. Find more On The Green Fence wherever you get your podcasts.   

This week, On the Green Fence brings you another environment podcast we think you'll enjoy: Fireline. Wildfires across the United States are getting bigger, hotter and more devastating. But what does all this fire really mean — for the West, for firefighters and for everyday folks? And what's it really like to fight fire on the ground?

Fighting wildland fires is very different than structure fires. For starters, wildland guys sleep on the ground for days at a time. And then there's the lack of hydrants on their firegrounds. They have to carry in all their gear, often walking miles to reach their assigned areas. But wildland firefighters, by and large, wouldn't trade their jobs for structure firefighting. Today, we're talking with a man who joined a Type 2 handcrew when he was in his thirties. That's pretty old for a wildland firefighter. Most are in their early 20s. Charles Vaught took advantage of his perspective—and several seasons on the handcrew— to write a book. It's titled, “State of Fire: Life Lessons Learned on the Fireline.” It's a fascinating book…often raw, sometimes profane, that takes look a at a different kind of firefighting. Support this podcast

"Just because it's a view you've seen your whole life doesn't mean it's a normal, healthy forest."See full show notes here, with links to all topics discussed.My guest today is Dr. Justin Angle, creator of the podcast series “Fireline”, which dives into the realities of wildfire in the western USA.Justin is Associate Professor of Marketing at The University of Montana in Missoula. He earned his Ph.D. and MBA from the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. Justin also produces his own interview podcast called A New Angle.Today we focus on the “Fireline” podcast series, released earlier this year through Montana Public Radio. If you haven't heard it, the seven episodes cover different aspects of wildfire. The series presents multiple points of view with a goal to demonstrate that the topic is complicated and nuanced, and we all have a role to play in finding solutions.Today, we discuss many of Fireline's topics, including:- How wildfire impacts can be both positive and negative, depending on perspective and context. - The complexities of how years of wildfire policy and suppression have affected fire behavior, and how rising temperatures catalyzes more and larger fires. - The growth of the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and how that creates more negative human impacts. - Relatively recent research showing that wind-blown embers can be a primary driver to fire spread and a primary risk to homes - not the towering flame front that we often envision. This changes how communities and homeowners need to prepare, which quickly turns into a sociology problem more than a science problem.Any discussion of wildfire is incomplete without investigating human history and influence on wildfire, and Fireline covers indigenous use of fire through the perspective of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes, as well as some fascinating anthropological research.We also review Justin's atypical route to creating the show, and the process and partners he engaged to make it a reality. Fireline was produced at the peak of the pandemic, requiring Justin and his team to pivot multiple times. You may also be interested in my interview with Rick Halsey of the California Chaparral Institute, where we took a deep dive into wildfire behavior, especially in chaparral habitats.Catching Fire by Richard WranghamFire in Paradise - on NetflixLife with Fire - wildfire podcastFireline's Collaborators: Jeff Hull, Nick Mott, Victor Yvellez, Josh Burnham, Aj WilliamsCathy WhitlockJim SeeKimi Barrett Libby and Alex Metcalf Lily Clarke Richard WranghamSteve Pyne - fire historian with several excellent booksTony Incashola Jr and Sr - Father and Son Wildfire Adapted Missoula

Introducing Montana Public Radio's new podcast, Fireline. When Lily Clarke arrived at the August Complex Fire, it was a fire of sensational size. The blaze eventually burned more than 1 million acres, becoming the largest recorded wildfire in California history. Across the country in 2020, flames charred an area nearly 5 times the size of Yellowstone National Park — the largest swath of land burned since reliable records began. Wildfires across the country are getting bigger, hotter and more devastating. But what's all this fire really mean — for the west, for firefighters and for everyday folks? And what's it really like to fight fire on the ground?

The Wildland Urban Interface, or WUI, is where forest and homes meet. It’s the fastest growing land use type in the nation, and also where one in three homes across the country are situated. What’s it mean to live in the WUI, where the stakes of wildfire are higher than anywhere else? And why is this area so vulnerable to fire? Learn more now on Fireline Episode 6 - part 1

For millennia, wildfire was part of life in North America. Indigenous people used it for tradition and ceremony, to improve the health of ecosystems, and to assist with hunting and gathering. But the arrival of white settlers marked the beginning of an era in which that knowledge about fire and its role on the landscape was suppressed. Now, Indigenous groups across the country are working to revive tribal relationships with fire. Today, hear one story about bringing fire back to the land on the Flathead Reservation in Northwest Montana.

The connection between humans and fire goes back millions of years. What started with campfires and cooking grew into a burning addiction that catalyzed the Industrial Revolution and now shapes nearly every aspect of our society. Now, our ongoing reliance on fire in its many forms is changing the climate with explosive consequences for wildfires — and much more .

In 1910, a wildfire the size of Connecticut engulfed parts of Montana, Idaho and Washington. Ed Pulaski and his crew were among the many people trapped by the enormous blaze. The Big Burn, as it came to be known, helped propel a culture of fire suppression that still persists in many forms. What does that massive fire mean for the way our society deals with the wildfires of today?

When Lily Clarke arrived at the August Complex Fire, it was a fire of sensational size. The blaze eventually burned more than 1 million acres, becoming the largest recorded wildfire in California history. Across the country in 2020, flames charred an area nearly 5 times the size of Yellowstone National Park — the largest swath of land burned since reliable records began. Wildfires across the country are getting bigger, hotter and more devastating. But what’s all this fire really mean — for the west, for firefighters and for everyday folks? And what’s it really like to fight fire on the ground?

Epic weekend to be on the bike, but summer is upon us and it's time to incorporate swimming holes to our rides. The majority trail systems have access to water and it feels good to take a dip after over heating. Hydration is key during this time of year and wear gloves. Go check out Fireline and get the ride in before the storm tonight. The rest of the week looks perfect! Get out and enjoy

Summer weather is upon us. Make sure to hydrate before, during, and after a ride. Keep an eye on that radar for afternoon storms and get out early or late to avoid the heat of the middle day. Go ride Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, and don't miss the rework of Fireline. Trailblazers is putting in the work and the top is amazing. We can't wait to see what they have in store for the bottom. If your out there show the crew some love, they deserve it all!

It has been a gorgeous week thus far, and get it in while the getting is good because the storms look to be coming back this weekend. All trails are running great, with the usual seepage spots that will run all spring. Clean the bike accordingly and keep the rig in working order with a little chain lube. Go ride the Little Sugar system today if you have a bunch of time or sneak out in Slaughter Pen for a lunch break rip. Big shout out to Trailblazers Crew and their work at Coler. The top of Fireline is a must if you havn't gotten out and ridden it yet, and the leaves are hiding the magic happening on Cease and Desist. Be patient with the closures because it will be well worth it in the end! Thank you Trailblazers for all that you do!

Around 2000 I was assigned to a large fire in the northern Sierras as a Division Supervisor. On this particular fire I had multiple 20 person fire crews as well as many fire engines working for me. This story is about one of those fire crews who were from Hawaii. They were a great crew … Continue reading #32- Hawaiian Luau on the Fireline →

Some things will always baffle me - like taking a multi-mission capable helicopter program and throwing it in the trash can. This short sighted decision was made after 3 back, to back, to back insane fire seasons...Today on the show - We have Adam Clyne, a spotter from the Alberta Rappellers on the show to share how we can save this valuable program...Alberta's wildfire rappel program has been axed by the provincial government in order to cut cost, yet the 23 million dollar price tag of the savings doesn't make any sense compared to the potential of saving hundreds of millions of dollars by stopping small fires before they go big...The "RAP" program has been in place for 36 years, and employs 63 firefighters every fire season, not including the support staff or pilots for these programs. The overall objective for the "RAP" crews is to insert firefighters into the fire via helicopter rappel and aggressively attack small fires soon after detection to keep the fires from growing into large, catastrophic fires... In addition to this, they provide: Fireline emergency medical services, search and rescue operations, and hazardous fuels reduction across the entire province of Alberta...If you want to support the Alberta RAP program, check out these sites:Change.org:https://www.change.org/p/the-government-of-alberta-urge-the-albertan-government-to-roll-back-cuts-to-wildfire-fundingFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/2554289287998862/about/Also feel free to hit up Adam Clyne on Instagram..Thanks for listening, everyone...

When it comes to a career path, a lot of people, including myself, spend their lives following societal norms. We want more money, more prestige, more whatever. Michelle is in love with wildfire fighting, and she knows it. After a full career in wildfire management, she recognized that she was happier and more fulfilled when she was back on the front lines, where she had started her career. Now, she leads a 20 person unit crew stomping out flames all season long. The grit and adrenaline of the line just kept on calling her home. We discussed her career path, resistance, leadership techniques, building a cohesive team you can trust, and much more. This episode is not strictly based on environmental sciences, but it is relevant nonetheless.
