Great information here to help make your homes and outbuildings defensible against another wildfire. It’s not IF we have another one but WHEN we have another one.

Should be a great movie for all firefighters and everyone else to enjoy! If can make it you should!!

Showing this Wednesday, May 14th at 7pm “Prisoners of Fire”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jii3PsRv4Q


June 26,1990, the Dude Fire rages across Zane Gray country in the towering ponderosa forests below the Mogollon Rim in Central Arizona, killing five prison crew members and a female supervisor on her first fire. Follow along with the survivors and firefighters as they share their experience as inmate firefighters and their harrowing story of courage, loss and redemption.

Make sure to get in on the 100 Fires Project Treasure Hunt at https://westernfire.us/100-fires-project-treasure-hunt, a collaboration between Western Fire Resources, the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, and the 100 Fires Project. Just as important, make sure to share the heck out of this post. The more we get competing, the more we as a community will learn from our history and the safer we will be as firefighters. Good luck and have fun!
