We're obviously thinking of everybody in California right now.

0:03.1

What's happening there is impossible to look at.

0:07.4

Yeah, it's really scary.

0:08.4

So for those of you that may remember, we did a like a cheeky, fun firefighter episode.

0:15.6

But we have a listener named Emma, who is a wildland firefighter.

0:20.3

And at that point in time, we actually did a really

0:22.4

cool interview with her that's on our Patreon. And we contacted her this week to ask her,

0:29.7

you know, like say we're thinking about her. She's actually not there. But she is obviously like really

they use the money to cover both medical bills and funeral bills for

1:29.8

deceased firefighters. And this is an organization that Emma is really familiar with and knows

1:36.1

that they do great work. If you are looking for information, she suggests going to NC Web,

1:42.6

that's INCI Web, like all together. They have national situation reporting that will update daily with official updates gathered by firefighting personnel rather than like sort of social media bullshit, frankly. So we will keep that information coming.
