Erik heads to the Wildland Fire Office to speak with Hugh Fairfield-Smith, Division Chief of Wildland Fire Operations about what's in front of all of us this summer with the severe drought conditions we will most certainly be facing. This is a message of hope - Hugh and his team have been preparing for a summer like this and are ready - but also one of preparedness with some great tips as to what you can do to create fire safe areas for both home and business. As Hugh says in the podcast, "Wildfire is a unique natural disaster in the way that you can mitigate and prepare to lessen the severity."
