On Today’s Show:

  • August 20th marked the anniversary of “The Big Burn.” I review Ed Pulaski's history and discuss how this incident would be viewed today.

  • Would he still be a hero, or would he be an HR nightmare?

  • Imagine the AAR after an incident today if your supervisor pulled a gun on you…

  • There was another Dozer rollover in California, making it the third in a month.

  • I cover all the fires nationally and give a full operational update.

  • Plus more.
