Conversations : How California Fights its Wildfires with Chief Tim Chavez

58 minutes

My guest today is chief Tim Chavez from the State of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection also called Calfire. As many of you would know Wildfires are a major threat in California, especially during the hot, dry summer and fall months. Massive wildfires frequently break out across the state, burning hundreds of thousands of acres. These intense fires are difficult to contain and often cause tremendous damage. Chief Chavez has been with Calfire for over 40 years and has

huge amount of experience with putting off challenging fires like the camp fire in 2018. He is a legend in his field and its my honor to have him on the show. In this episode I will talk to Chief Chavez about his own journey as a firefighter, how technology has helped Calfire , major learning from recent fires in California and what we as a society should learn from them.
