As we enter what is typically the busiest part of the western wildland fire season, and with the deaths of 19 hotshots still fresh in our minds, this is a good time to review some words from Tom Boatner that were in a wildland-urban interface course video. Mr. Boatner, now retired, was the Chief, Division of Fire Operations, for the BLM Office of Fire and Aviation in Boise.
Jump to 36:43 and just watch the last 2 minutes, where his remarks begin.
Thanks go out to Brit
