Looking Forward to the 2024 Wildfire Season: A conversation with wildfire commissioner Kelly Martin.

1 tim 9 min•22 december 2023

On today’s show: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/


We discuss the slowly reemerging policy of “put everything out” that has crept back into both the political realm and the tech side of the wildfire industry. A policy that clearly didn’t work. We talk about the importance of bringing operational and field-capable people into these discussions and how pivotal it is to support the base layer of the entire system, our wildland firefighters.

Kelly is a former Hotshot, (ret) Chief of Fire and Aviation at Yosemite National Park, current wildfire commissioner, and vice president of the International Association of Wildland Fire.
