This week we talk about the fires in Texas. Multiple fires have broke out in the last few days. An engine was burned over on Tuesday of this week and two crewmembers are in the hospital with serious injuries.

We cover the firefighter cadre that went to DC to talk working conditions and pay. Smokejumpers sat with the Labor Secretary and discussed Tim’s Act. We cover how it was received.

We discuss the fire shelter stigmas in our industry, the new wildfire commission and more.
