This episode is one of our infamous check-ins but we're doing something a little different. It's an op-ed piece if you can dig that! We are sharing a trending topic in the fire department. What is causing the mass exodus of firefighters from departments throughout the united states? Why are firefighters so quick to transfer departments and/or careers and even flip-flopping? If you've wondered about these questions too, settle in, because we're reading a very pointed letter from Chris Mariano a former USFS Hotshot from Taho National Forest about why he left the US Forest Service.
