I’m honored to welcome a special guest, Ms. Chelsea Burkett, a fire prevention specialist at Cal Fire. Cal Fire, short for California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, is the state agency responsible for wildland fire protection and management in California. It's one of the largest firefighting agencies in the U.S.
In our chat Chelsea talks about the process of identifying and fighting against a wildfire, the trend of wildfire occurrences in California, some of the key factors that contribute to the intensity and frequency of these wildfires, how climate conditions impact the risks, how the future of wildfire management evolves in California, advice for residents, and the best ways to prevent wildfires and mitigate the damage when they occur. Thank you Chelsea!
