thank you for this update!! hope this administration will support full time year round fire teams. Seems insane that that isn't in the budget already >:(

Thanks for a great read! I’ll be looking for your old HCN article. I was still a child in the Obama era, so I’ve only gotten into fire since the Trump admin. I’ll be looking for some articles on how agencies managed 2008-2015 fire seasons too.

One of my questions is about the year-round employees discussion. What are your thoughts on how this can be done without burning folks out?

Some people say we should combine every federal fire resource into one program. This is very unlikely and obviously hypothetical, but I wonder if separating ourselves from land management agencies might make it even harder to make a holistic approach. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea.
