Great podcast, really enjoyed listening in. Thanks
Very cool Steve
@23 minutes, yes systems can and should be providing strategy and propositions to provide the most efficient fie attack plan. Also perhaps most importantly, analyze post fire reports and provide improvement guidance - the actual fire attack, team configuration, gaps in skills and training, etc.
By far, the very best discussion I've ever encountered re the fire-fuel-climate challenge.
Great interview, without no doubt Dan is the best reference for any consult about the Aerial Firefighter, I had the great opportunity to work with him very close in Bolivia between Super tanker and Bolivian Air Force great teamwork and qualified personnel lead by him
Great interview. I've known Dan for many years and he definitely stands out with his integrity and experience. He's an incredible fire leader and mentor.
Everything has been thought out in such detail. No stone left unturned in this genius device.
Been a wildland firefighter for 40 years. I like your concept. will follow along as the program develops..
This technology couldn't come at a better time. Not a moment too soon.
Wow what a cool video!
