Heart of a Firefighter           
 
What Can We Learn from the Fire season of 2023?
               Can we improve on safety for our firefighters ? Increase safety margins?
               Can we increase  efficiency, cohesiveness, and professional performance of our teams?
               Great opportunities opened up for prescribed fire and dispatches to the east coast
                Can we "Up Our Game" and be Fire Ready 24/7?

" The 2020  Labor Day fires burned more area of the Oregon Cascades than had burned in the previous 36 years combined and very likely exceeded the area burned in any single year for at least the past 120 years."
