On Today’s Show:

  • After the Wildfire Commission Report, Wildfire Tech Companies started calling for a “new workforce.”

  • What does that mean, and is it needed? With 3 years of horrible retention and recruitment, why the shift now?

  • AI wildfire data companies say our forests only have 10 years until they go away. Overblown predictions?

  • Wildfire wage funding update.

  • As predicted, war will likely save this Bill.

  • Full operational update.

  • Plus more.
