Former Ely hoodrat turned AFMO, Branden Sultemeier, stops by to talk about firefighting in the South!

Region 8 is an often overlooked region when it comes to fighting fire. Truth of the matter is that its a lesser known and hidden gem for wildland firefighting!

Branden Sultemeier is out of the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. He's been in fire pretty much all of his life - starting when he was young, when his grandfather would ask him to keep fenceposts from catching on fire during ag burns... When he got a little older, he started volunteering - where he found his passion in wildland fire...

He also talks about how region eight has provided him some very unique firefighting opportunities during the episode, and how you could have some of those opportunities too! If you happen to be looking for a change of pace, or are looking to get into wildland fire in the south, hit up Branden here:
