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

What's happening there is impossible to look at.

Yeah, it's really scary.

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

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

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

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

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

plugged into that community because she is herself a wildland firefighter.

And we asked for some recommendations that we could share with you not only for places that

you might be able to donate, but also for information because there is so much misinformation

that is going around. And that is obviously a real concern to her. And so she has a couple of suggestions

for us all that we can like check out. So if you are on Instagram, you should follow the

grassroots wildland firefighter page. This is the main social media outreach for that

organization. And it's made up of retired female firefighters advocating for pay raises,

increased health care coverage, compensation, et cetera, and they just have tons of great

information. If you are looking to donate another good place is the Wildland Firefighter Foundation,

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

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

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

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.

Emma's going to share more resources with us.
