HERO DOG: A woman is crediting one of her dogs for saving the other while she was out. Sarah Strilka says her French bulldog Yogi has severe epilepsy and started seizing at home. That's when her 16-month-old boxer Reggie jumped into action, keeping Yogi upright and moving. That attention saved little Yogi from aspirating long enough for Strilka to get home. 🙏 abc7.la/4k0N0XR

In my experience, one must spend at *least* 2-3 fire seasons embedded with wildland firefighters to reasonably understand the topic of wildfire enough to report on it accurately. Ask yourself how many wildfire reporters in corporate media have done that.
I'm talking FULL fire seasons, from 80-hour til the snow flies, hiking in the wildlands, amongst Hotshot crews...no offense to engine guys, but unless/until you've had crew time, you don't have a full picture of wildfire.
I learned a TON after just one season chasing shot crews, but I truly didn't start "getting it" til season 4. After a couple years, you start to realize how much you still don't know, and you have to get caught up in some bad situations to fully understand how things can go sideways.
If a wildfire reporter has not carried a 60lb pack into the wildlands with Hotshot crews for several years, they're simply not worth reading. Sorry. I've seen enough BS articles to know the chronic deficiencies in how they fail to adequately inform their readers. They can report on niche issues like how many structures burned up, or regurgitate PIO talking points, but they simply lack the requisite knowledge to provide the necessary context for meaningful wildfire reporting. Imagine reporting on the Dodgers, but you've never been to a game...you've only watched one inning on TV.
If the LA Times is interested in adequately informing their fire country readers about the environment in which they live, 80-hour is coming up next month. I suggest they instruct all their wildfire reporters to start hiking with a weight vest, go participate in 80-hour, take S-190/290 and all the other NWCG training, go chase crews for a few seasons with proper PPE, and maybe after a couple years they can resume reporting on wildfires...THEN they could provide valuable insight for their readers.

My whole life I was a typical barefoot hippie liberal California democrat, but CA has largely become this dogmatic cult that violently rejects *any* criticism of their policies…it’s a very self-destructive, hyper-defensive hubris and it makes me genuinely sad to see them continue to get rekt because of it, including my own family, who got decimated in the Palisades Fire. I dropped my ego and accepted the harsh truth that wildland firefighters taught me about wildfire over the years. This inability for Californians to say “dang we were wrong, we gotta change course” and the stubborn refusal to emulate a red state policy that works, just cuz it came from a red state…it’s really sad. What’s the point in putting up all the solar panels if they’re just gonna get nuked in a wildfire because you refused to manage your fuels with RX fire like Florida does?

Florida has done more controlled burns in the past year than California has done in the past 50 years.

2024 Fire season has been busy. Still got plenty of season left but thought I’d share some of the fires we’ve worked. #fireseason2024 #LPF
