    Veterans In Fire w/ Blake Toth Jul 05, 2021
    Show notes

    Smokey Generation award winner, Blake Toth, stops by the studio to talk about connecting veterans to wildland firefighting careers and the back story of starting his organization, "Veterans In Fire"...

    Blake is a former Marine door gunner who grew up in Maine. After his time in the Marines, he traveled around the country in his Ford Focus, where he discovered that he wanted to continue his passion for serving others...

    Veterans In Fire provides individualized mentoring, training, and professional guidance into the Fire Industry. We place Veterans back in fight, on the best fire crews in the country to ensure they continue to have the opportunity to succeed, and continue to serve others...

    Blake says, "I passionately believe there is no greater service than service to others. The vision is to highlight Veterans on the fire line and share their stories. For me, fire saved my life and I know I’m not alone. This project will explore the story behind the Veteran, what got them into fire, how it has helped them mentally, and why is it they continue to serve".

    Veterans In Fire is a valuable resource to get your foot in the door of wildland fire. If you have a DD214 and a resume, you have a pipeline to getting hired - And Blake is here to help!

    Multi-Mission Aircraft and FireGuard w/ Peter Vidmar Jun 28, 2021
    Show notes

    Today on the show:

    We learn about some of the emerging technologies and situational awareness gathering tools being used to gather intel, detect new fire starts, and potentially save lives and property from Peter Vidmar...

    Peter is a former helitack crew member, turned captain and aircraft manager for the Colorado DFPC, with 10 years of fire experience under his belt.

    Here is a little more about Pete:

    "I started in fire in 2011, working 2 seasons in fire mitigation before joining a suppression module with Rocky Mountain Fire District in 2013. In 2014, I joined DFPC as a firefighter out of Fort Collins, primarily staffing engines. I then took a year-round job with Texas A&M Forest Service as a Regional Fire Coordinator (FMO) in west Texas for 2015 and part of 2016, managing fire response and grant programs for 13 counties. In the Spring of 2016, I rejoined DFPC as a senior firefighter on Cañon Helitack. I was promoted to Captain and transferred to the Multi-Mission Aircraft program as a manager in 2017, where I first became intimately familiar with fire intelligence programs. Beginning in 2020, I was given the additional responsibility of being the program lead for the program that is now called FireGuard. I directed the State-led pilot program in 2020, and currently serve as senior liaison and member of the leadership team for the national effort."

    One of those tools that we talk about today is: "Fireguard"

    Fireguard is a data analysis program comprised of military resources, NIFC, and the "boots on the ground" to identify new fire starts and to monitor ongoing fires. Not only does it detect new starts, but the program will also automate and push out notifications based on your area of operations with the most up to date info with info such as rate of spread, direction, and critical values at risk (such as wildland urban interface)...

    Its a pretty valuable program with a lot of situational awareness gathering tools at your disposal

    To learn more about the program, check out these links:

    How will notification be made of a new fire?

    · Instead of a phone call to a GACC or Dispatch Center followed by an email with a PDF Spot Report including a map, users at all levels will be able to draw custom areas of interest (AOI) for receiving alerts. By navigating to this form (https://bit.ly/2PWU130), users can draw a polygon that defines AOI for automated initial notifications on fires, and for urgent updates when analysts see extreme fire behavior that is imminently threatening values at risk.

    How can I access the data?

    · The data will be available on an NIFC org Dashboard (https://iaa-nifc.hub.arcgis.com/) and EGP. The polygons associated with the new detections will be viewable on the Situation Analyst in the Intelligence and Resources (IR) view state.

    How can I give feedback?

    · Feedback should be sent to sean.triplett@usda.gov or peter.vidmar@state.co.us

    "Its All Part Of The Gig" - W/ Charles Vaught Jun 15, 2021
    Show notes

    Today take a much less serious approach to the show - We sit down for a hilarious live reading of some of the passages from Charles Vaught's book, State of Fire...

    Here's what his book is all about:

    State of Fire "pulls back the curtain on the mysteries of those who go toe-to-toe in battles with Nature, exposing various overlooked aspects of what it means and takes to fight wildfire. From the raw physicality of the job, to the job’s transformational qualities, to the extreme camaraderie earned along the way; State of fire explores the toll that wildland firefighters pay both physically, mentally, socially and of course, the toll it takes on their love lives. Within these pages wildland firefighters are not “hero-ized” role models sanitized of any shred of truth, but portrayed with all of their flaws, egos, weaknesses, and baggage, giving the reader a better understanding of not only the of the people who go into the wild lands of America and fight fire, but the realities of the job itself."

    His book explores the many life lessons learned in wildland fire, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the oftentimes hilarious. It definitely isn't a sanitized version of his experiences, and it may not be for everyone - But there are many themes to be discovered within the collection of his essays...

    To find his book, check out the following links:
    https://www.audible.com/pd/State-of-Fire-Audiobook/B0935FT8J2

    https://www.amazon.com/State-Fire-Lessons-Learned-Fireline/dp/1689642335/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3CX9I1MRTT66U&keywords=state+of+fire+vaught&qid=1568592931&sprefix=state+of+fire+%2Caps%2C224&sr=8-2

    Have A Plan For The Off Season w/ Shannon Mead Jun 07, 2021
    Show notes

    EAP can be a joke... If you want real, quality, and culturally competent clinicians that specialize in the world of first responders; you're gonna have to search for it...

    Good thing for you? You get to meet one of those folks today on the show as we talk all about the specialized nature of mental health with wildland firefighters and first responders.

    Shannon Mead is a local clinician here in Reno, Nevada who specializes in this caveat of practice...

    Heres a little more about Shannon:

    "As a therapist, adoptive mom, and friend/family member to a whole bunch of first responders - I know that helping takes a heavy toll on those who are willing to shoulder the burden. And unfortunately, the existing supports aren’t always helpful (to put it kindly). Whether I am working with individuals, couples, or an entire organization, my purpose is to strengthen those who sacrifice for our community.

    I have a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University and a corporate coaching certificate from Fielding University. I am intrigued by systems and patterns, and as a therapist I tend to be practical and straightforward. Perhaps that is because I spent many years as a tech and data consultant before pivoting into counseling.

    Over the years I have become increasingly interested in compassion fatigue and secondary trauma, and focused most of my research on these topics. As a foster/adoptive parent I have felt the burden myself, but have also seen it in the lives of my guardian friends and family. I absolutely hate that those who step in to help are often chewed up by the roles and I’m working hard to do something about it."

    She is just one of the many "culturally competent clinicians" out there that are available... Please feel free to use her practice as a resource this season.

    You can find her practice here:

    https://www.stackofstones.com

    Call her, email her, do whatever you need to do to take care of yourselves before, during, and after the fire season!

    Hope everyone is doing well...

    "PTSD and Why I Had To Leave" w/ Mike West May 03, 2021
    Show notes

    Mike West has been in the wildland firefighting game for 17 years in various roles. He's done a little bit of everything from being a Hotshot, Type 2 IA crew member, engine crew member, to a dispatcher...

    Our community recognizes the fact that this line of work can be austere, physically demanding, and even more demanding on your mental health - And over the course of Mike's career, his mental health took the brunt of these demands.

    Mike eventually left the agency due to these reasons:

    1. "I was diagnosed with PTSD, and I didn't think I could heal from it if I stayed in fire."
    2. "My career had a very negative impact on my family life. I found it impossible to balance fire and my personal life."
    3. "I always wanted to be a teacher."
    4. "The whole forestry tech/firefighter thing. No need to beat that dead horse. We all know the issue."
    5. "I wanted my summers back."
    6. "I think the FS could retain a lot of forestry techs with better pay and support systems. But I wasn't going to stay. By the time I decided to leave, the title of firefighter with good pay wouldn't have kept me. I was totally over it. There's a lot of fun to be had in fire, but I wasn't going to sacrifice my family relationships for it."

    Upon leaving the agency, Mike wrote a heartfelt and honest letter to the forest to explain why he needed to leave fire... If you have a chance, read his letter here:

    https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6ced5b8d33bb20b5c97c0b/t/5f90da99b807353e9052ec13/1603328667160/Mike+West+Resignation+Letter_Redacted.pdf

    He hopes that this letter helps inspire anyone who is struggling with mental health issues to seek the help that they need.

    Mike is now "retired" from the agency and is a teacher in Susanville, California and is a contributor to the Mystery Ranch "Backbone Series"

    Perspectives of a Former Hotshot Superintendent w/ Aaron Humphrey Apr 12, 2021
    Show notes

    Aaron Humphrey is not only a generational wildland firefighter, but also a wildland firefighter (forestry technician) with 25 years of experience in the game. He worked his way up from a seasonal forestry tech on an engine, all the way to Interagency Hotshot Superintendent with Eldorado Hotshots. He also served as the Hotshot Committee chairman during his time with Eldorado IHC...

    Today on the show, we talk about how his parents worked for the USFS, how he got started in fire, the changes that he saw (and experienced) over the years, and the reasons why he eventually moved on to a different agency after 25 years...

    His wife, Rachael, joins us on the show today to also talk about her side of the story and the struggles involved with being a Hotshot wife...

    "Hump" is one hell of a mentor, an excellent leader, and continues to lead with his involvement with the Grassroots Wildland Firefighters organization...
