Former Smokejumper and Hotshot, Bre Orcasitas, is on the show to talk in greater detail about her (extremely well written) article called, "The Great Exodus"... Today on the show: Bre goes into greater detail on why wildland firefighters are leaving federal service at an unsustainable pace...

"The Great Exodus" is an incredibly well written exposé, taking in Bre's observations, shared peer experiences, and first hand reasons for leaving the federal fire service. Her article has made waves within the wildland firefighting community, and only continues to make accurate predictions of the fate of the federal wildland firefighting workforce.

A little about Bre:

Bre is a wife, mother, former smokejumper, former hotshot, and "Jill of all trades" with her diverse experience in the realm of wildland firefighting... She is also a domestic and international traveler, foodie, empath, conservationist, knowledge seeker, outdoor enthusiast, and aficionado of good coffee and baked goods...

Bre also is a astute writer and blogger who has been featured on The Smokey Generation, Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center, and other major news organizations...
