Former fire chief Mike DeGrosky stepped into retirement, knowing that burned-out leaders simply cannot be effective leaders, and that leaders must place a high priority on their own well-being. Read Mike’s story on facing burnout in our Wildfire magazine ow.ly/1oTR50UaBWL

Public service announcement: #wildfire The fires in Wyoming and Idaho are not a grand conspiracy by the Government to open up lithium mines, run everyone off their land to ensure rural communities don’t get to vote in the election, or anything else. They also were not started by space lasers, and they are not being allowed to burn to push a narrative for climate change. There is a massive resource shortage across the county, they are burning in dead standing forests effected by beetle kill that have a long history of minimal prevention work due to terrain and other hazards and complications. Please stop sending me videos of wack jobs with no fire experience or wildfire knowledge lying to people about why they continue to burn with an eerie soundtrack in the background. It’s simple, they are burning because it’s dry, windy, firefighting resources are scare due to lack of funding, and the forest is dead…. Those are the actual massive issues that are occurring.
