On Today’s Show:

  • In a meeting with the Oregon Department of Forestry, they say the nation is out of Incident Management Teams, caterers, shower units, and there is a massive logistics and supply bottleneck.

  • Incident Commanders in California are told no crews are available for their fires.

  • This didn’t come out of nowhere… How did we get here, and what happens next?

  • California announces that insurance policyholders will have to bail out the State’s FAIR plan, the insurance plan of last resort.

  • The existing insurance companies will add a “surcharge” to cover the cost after already raising rates, in some cases by 400%.

  • Full operational update.

  • Plus more.
