Wildland Issues

The new episode of iCHIEFS podcasts focuses on the current wildfire situation we faced this fall in the United States. This is an essential topic not only for those fire departments in wildfire-prone areas but for those who are not as accustomed to these issues.

Santa Fe County Fire Chief Erik Litzenberg joins the podcast to discuss his experience with wildfire, specifically focusing on the changes in severity, season and complexity.

The discussion will include:

• Work the Wildland Fire Policy Committee does at a national level
• West coast or a global issue?
• Wildland response resources, specifically the National Mutual Aid System (NMAS)
