The Big Burnout: Wildland Firefighters and the West
As record-setting blazes grow more common, poor compensation is spurring an exodus of wildland firefighters, thinning America’s last line of defense against fires. For residents of fire-prone areas, the stakes could not be higher. In partnership with Source New Mexico and Outside Magazine, ProPublica will host an online forum examining these issues.
☆ SIGN UP HERE ☆

- George Broyles, former wildland firefighter who led the Forest Service’s smoke research program between 2008 and 2014
- Yolanda Cruz, learning hub coordinator at Santa Fe Community Foundation
- Patrick Lohmann, Source New Mexico reporter and ProPublica Local Reporting Network member
- Antonia Roybal-Mack, attorney and founder and managing partner of Roybal-Mack & Cordova PC
- Abe Streep, journalist and author of the book Brothers on Three: A True Story of Family, Resistance and Hope on a Reservation in Montana
