On this episode of All Things Wildfire, OP sits down with Stuart Landesberg, Founder and CEO of Seneca, to explore how autonomous firefighting aircraft could change wildfire initial attack. Seneca is developing autonomous aerial suppression systems designed to launch rapidly, navigate toward new ignitions, identify fire using onboard sensors and AI, and deliver water, foam or other firefighting agents while a fire is still small. Stuart walks us through Seneca's five-aircraft Strike Team, how multiple aircraft coordinate suppression, what happens in high winds, nighttime operations and how autonomous systems can work alongside existing firefighters and traditional aerial resources rather than replace them. We also discuss one of the biggest milestones yet for autonomous wildfire response: Aspen Fire Protection District becoming the first U.S. fire department to acquire Seneca's AI-driven autonomous aerial suppression system. The conversation goes beyond initial attack into structure protection, mop-up, hidden hot spots, wildfire insurance, HOAs and whether rapid-response technology could eventually become another factor insurers consider when evaluating community wildfire risk.

The federal government plans to kill 450,000 barred owls over 30 years to protect the northern spotted owl — while simultaneously narrowing the definition of harm under the Endangered Species Act to allow old-growth forest logging that will destroy the spotted owl's habitat. Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for Humane Economy, joins Corinna Bellizzi to expose the timber industry logic behind both moves. Together, they explain what's happening to wild horses and wolves on America's public lands, and share what 35 years of animal protection work has taught Wayne about how a slippery slope can lead to environmental devastation. We must act to protect America's open spaces and wild habitats. 00:00 — Introduction: The Spotted Owl, the Barred Owl, and the Question of Whose Fault It Is 04:00 — The 14-Mile Zone of Life: How Much Room Do We Actually Share? 06:00 — The Northern Spotted Owl: History, Habitat, and the Timber Wars 10:00 — The Barred Owl Is Not Invasive: The Range-Expansion Argument 14:00 — Human Beings Crossed the Bering Land Bridge: Applying the Same Logic 18:00 — The Plan to Shoot 450,000 Owls: Why It Won't Work 20:00 — The Endangered Species Act: How the Definition of Harm Is Being Gutted 23:00 — The One Big Beautiful Bill and the 60% Timber Increase 27:00 — Old Growth Redwoods, Carbon, and the True Cost of Logging 30:00 — The Lawsuit and What Comes Next 32:00 — Wild Horses: 80,000 vs. 4.3 Million Cattle 36:00 — Wolves: Delisted for Politics, Hunted by Snowmobile 37:00 — Fertility Control as a Humane Alternative 39:00 — Why Every Animal Sequesters Carbon 40:00 — The Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Its Origins 44:00 — The Environmental Groups That Got This Wrong 47:00 — Direct Mail, Organizational Efficiency, and the 95% Program Model 50:00 — What Animal Wellness Action Has Actually Accomplished 53:00 — Wildfires, Forest Management, and Fossil Fuels 57:00 — The Colorado River and the Water Crisis 01:00:00 — What You Can Do: Congress, Donations, and Showing Up 01:02:00 — Closing: Inspired and Enraged Resources Wayne Pacelle on LinkedIn Animal Wellness Action — animalwellnessaction.org Center for Humane Economy — humaneeconomy.org Wayne Pacelle on X Wayne Pacelle on Instagram The Bond — Wayne Pacelle The Humane Economy — Wayne Pacelle Action Alert: Barred Owl Kill Plan Action Alert: Endangered Species Act Definition of Harm Donate to Animal Wellness Action Aldo Leopold — A Sand County Almanac Bill McKibben on Ezra Klein Show CONNECT & SUPPORT CARE MORE BE BETTERSubstack: https://caremorebebetter.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/caremorebebetterTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caremorebebetterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/caremorebebetterFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CareMoreBeBetterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/care-more-be-betterCAUSE PARTNER: If you value open dialogue, sustainability, and social equity, I invite you to support our new cause partner —Prescott College.

Today's storyteller reflects on receiving a breast cancer diagnosis at 28 and the lasting emotional imprint of survivorship more than a decade later. Moving between past and present, she explores the survival mindset that carried her through treatment and the gradual return of feeling after years spent simply trying to stay alive.This conversation explores memory, identity, inner resilience, and the relationship between who we were before cancer and who we become afterward — revealing how pain and love can coexist in the same story.More about Cassandra:https://www.instagram.com/cu.therapy.ont/https://www.cutherapy.ca/More about AnaOno Intimates:https://www.instagram.com/anaonointimates/https://www.anaono.com/Buy the Survivorship issue: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/survivorshipShop Wildfire merch & more: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shopBuy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshops*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions

Wildfire season is underway in California, but the state's wildfire fund is running low after billions went to victims of last year's massive Altadena fire, sparked by faulty equipment owned by Southern California Edison. Governor Newsom and the legislature's debate over fixing the wildfire fund has hinged on the extent utilities, insurance companies and homeowners would pay into it. We'll dig into the details, and hear your thoughts on who should pay to rebuild after wildfires. Guests: Guy Marzorati, correspondent, KQED's California Politics and Government Desk Michael Wara, policy director for the Sustainability Accelerator at the Doerr School of Sustainability, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program, senior research scholar at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University Joy Chen, executive director, Every Fire Survivor's Network Learn more about your ad choices.

More than 2,500,000 acres have burned so far during Oregon’s record-breaking wildfire season. Earlier this summer, smoke from the wildfires led to air quality advisories being issued across most of the state, including in Southern Oregon.    John D. Sutter, an independent climate journalist and assistant professor of environmental media at the University of Oregon, traveled to the region in July for a reporting assignment for The Guardian. He headed to Josephine County, which was tied with Trinity County in California for the highest number of deaths linked to wildfire smoke during a 15-year period ending in 2020, according to a study published last year in the journal Nature.    Sutter spent a week hearing from dozens of residents in places like Cave Junction and Grants Pass, from frontline healthcare workers to medically vulnerable seniors and business owners. Sutter joins us to share some of those perspectives and the toll worsening wildfire smoke is taking on the tight-knit communities he visited and wrote about in his recently published story.   

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260901dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . . . the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:19,22 Creation Can’t Wait Have you ever noticed how often the world reminds us that something isn’t right? Wildfires scorch forests. Tornadoes uproot trees. Droughts wither crops. Pretty soon, depending on where you live, the beauty of creation will fade with the changing seasons. Sometimes we speak of nature as though it is simply running its course. But the Bible tells us that creation is groaning. It wasn’t always this way. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was no death. No decay. No storms. No disease. The world reflected the perfection of its Creator. Then Adam and Eve sinned. When humanity fell, the curse reached far beyond Adam and Eve. God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). Thorns and thistles appeared. Death entered. Since then, every hurricane, every broken body, every dying tree, and every cemetery has proclaimed the same truth: sin has affected everything. Yet, there is hope. Creation is waiting for the day when Christ returns to reveal his children. The created world knows, in a way beyond our understanding, that its own freedom is tied to ours. When Jesus raises the dead and makes all things new, creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay. That means the groaning of creation is not the groan of despair but of eager expectation. Just as a mother experiences labor pains in anticipation of celebrating a new life, so does this world. Therefore, we can look at natural disasters differently. We are not left without hope. Every time we see creation suffer, we are pointed to the One who is coming to restore it. When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone following California politics. The speaker takes aim at Governor Gavin Newsom's latest move to help utility companies, specifically PG&E and SoCal Edison, avoid accountability for their role in starting devastating wildfires. The governor's plan would have limited the amount utility companies have to pay out to fire victims, but the California legislature stood firm and rejected it.The episode delves into the details of the proposed legislation and how it would have benefited the utility companies at the expense of fire survivors. The speaker also touches on the governor's motivations, suggesting that his focus on this issue may be tied to his presidential ambitions and the influence of big corporations in his campaign. The conversation also explores the broader implications of the governor's actions and the state's handling of the housing crisis.One of the most striking aspects of this episode is the speaker's critique of the governor's approach to the utility companies. The speaker argues that the governor's plan would have only served to further enable the companies' reckless behavior and put more people at risk. The conversation also highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the state's handling of the housing crisis.If you're interested in staying informed about the latest developments in California politics and the impact of the governor's decisions on everyday Californians, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

State lawmakers handed Governor Gavin Newsom a rare defeat over the weekend, rejecting a proposal that would have limited the liabilities utilities face if their equipment sparks a wildfire. To learn more, KCBS's Rebecca Goodeyon spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

In this episode, Leader's Edge speaks with Lance Malcolm, president of U.S. network solutions at Crawford & Co., about wildfire resilience in Europe and the United States. With wildfires scorching Spain and southern France this summer, and nearly 8 million acres burned in the United States to date in 2026, Malcolm draws parallels between the two regions' exposure and building practices. He discusses decentralized U.S. building codes versus Europe's national standards, shares why brokers should push clients to fortify their properties, and considers how fire response planning has evolved over the past several decades.

With all the wildfire smoke in Montana skies this summer, have you been surprised it doesn't always smell smokey? Or that it smelled like a campfire under clear skies? It turns out there's a lot that goes into our perception of smoke and how it squares with the Air Quality Index.

As one of his last acts as governor, Gavin Newsom is trying to tackle the ongoing wildfire crisis, pitting regular Californians, including fire survivors, against utility and insurance companies. There's a midnight deadline for any legislative action. Marisa and Guy sort out why Newsom picked up this political hot potato.  Then, they discuss movement in two big court cases this week. The California Supreme Court heard arguments in the dispute over Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco's unprecedented seizure of more than 650,000 ballots in last year's Proposition 50 election. Plus, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed President Trump to move forward with an attempt to restrict mail-in voting. Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

**California's Wildfire Liability System Under Fire**California's wildfire season is in full swing, and the state's liability system is under scrutiny. This episode delves into the proposed changes to the system, which would limit the amount that private utility companies pay for causing catastrophic wildfires. The governor's plan has sparked a heated debate, with some arguing that it would unfairly shift the burden to insurance companies and taxpayers.The discussion centers around the governor's proposal to limit the liability of utility companies like PG&E and SoCal Edison, which have been responsible for several devastating wildfires in recent years. Critics argue that this would lead to higher insurance rates and reduced compensation for victims. On the other hand, supporters claim that the current system is broken and needs to be reformed. The episode explores the complexities of the issue and the potential consequences of the proposed changes.The conversation also touches on the role of the California Public Utilities Commission and the state's history of wildfires. The speaker shares personal anecdotes and insights from experts in the field, providing a nuanced understanding of the issue. The episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in California politics and the ongoing battle against wildfires.Tune in to this episode to hear the full discussion and learn more about the proposed changes to California's wildfire liability system.

Earlier this month, the Spokane Complex Fires ripped through neighborhoods in the city, damaging more than 800 structures and forcing evacuations of more than 65,000 residents. One person died from medical complications she suffered while evacuating from a nursing home. Despite the loss of homes and other structures, the injury impacts of the fires were less severe, thanks in part to the city’s second-ever evacuation drill in April. Sarah Nuss is the Director of Emergency Management for Spokane. She joins us to share more details about the drill and its effectiveness in helping get tens of thousands of individuals out of danger safely.

Jeff Bliss, Wildfire Report #2: The wildfire threatening Reno, Nevada—a city near the California border heavily reliant on tourism and healthcare—has exploded to nearly 100,000 acres after strong afternoon winds breached a 97% containment line. Sparked initially by a motorcycle, the blaze has forced the mandatory evacuation of approximately 42,000 residents, with official estimates warning that up to 90,000 people may eventually need to flee. Heavy winds are fueling this early "dirty August" fire season by channeling oxygen into mountain draws and canyons amid extremely dry conditions. The massive displacement has prompted strict police instructions for residents to utilize regional drop-off centers for pets and livestock rather than standard human evacuation shelters, causing logistical challenges for local horse and cattle ranches. Firefighters continue to battle the unpredictable flames, emphasizing the critical importance of keeping roadways clear so emergency crews can safely navigate the fire zone and quickly escape shifting winds.
