On Today’s Show:

  • I lay out the case for hazard pay on Prescribed fire. It could actually save money, increase retention, and, one could argue, make the RX environment more safe.

  • In the last few weeks, there have been major and severe injuries on prescribed burns around the Nation.

  • I cover the fatalities that have occurred in RX burns in the last few years as well.

  • I cover the Hotshot injured in Tennessee.

    Lessons Learned

  • There was another entrapment in California. We discuss the report on this incident, why it happened, and how it went down.

  • Plus more.
