  • Says difficult decisions will need to be made. I cover the new developments regarding hiring for the 2025 season and the decisions being made. “Ghost jobs.”

  • Non-fire employees taking a hit.

  • Hurt feelings on the fireline… is concise and direct communication from high-level operators now considered mean? When in doubt, talk it out.

  • Very scary incident after a giant root wad crushes Swamper. Completely folded in half with head pinned to his boot.

  • Another heart attack and another case of Valley Fever.

  • Plus more.
