Being a Division Chief is a difficult job... Especially when your forest has been on the receiving end of catastrophic fires for the past five years... Thats why we have Plumas National Forest Division Chief, Jeff Dupras, on the show today to talk about his experiences.

Jeff has 31 years in the wildland fire service, and has seen a lot of change over the years. Particularly, the changes in fire behavior and  impacts to communities nested in the wildland urban interface.

He has also seen a dramatic change in the perception of the public when it comes to wildfire. Oftentimes leading to wild conspiracy theories, distrust, and a slew of other things.

His mission is to build a better understanding of wildfire, increase transparency, be an advocate for his community, and always be in the corner of the "boots on the ground".

You know the drill...

Stay safe, stay savage...

Enjoy!
