I spoke with Orange County Fire Chief Brian Fennessy about the recent fires in California and the changes needed in the aftermath.
Chief Fennessy is the Chair of the Firescope Advisory Committee, which will meet next week to make recommendations to improve the current system and have a panel discussion on the 2025 California fires. We discuss the issues with the ordering system, aviation resources being off-contract for the Forest Service, the hydrants and reservoirs, politics in fire, and much more.
Interstingly, Forest Supervisors in California opposed the D.C. office's decision to release aviation resources in late December. The move ended up being the right one, even in the face of significant D.C. backlash.
This is one of the most open and honest conversations you will hear from a leader in the fire world in the wake of these fires.
