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

  • Operational update.

  • A longtime and beloved firefighter in Montana dies during a pack test. A shock to the Montana firefighting community.

  • Canada calls in their National Security Investigation Team after pipeline explosion causes wildlife in Alberta. Past cyber attacks have shown vulnerability to these systems.

  • After pulling the contract to environmentally safe retardant this month, I cover the 2021 study saying this product was dangerous to equipment and firefighters.

  • This study was seemingly ignored by agencies, and aviation companies penned a letter to the Forest Service Chief in 2021 saying it could cause catastrophic failure to their aircraft and health issues to their employees.

  • These concerns seemed to have been ignored by officials for three years. Companies said it was eating their landing gear and causing tanks to not open over wildfires, potentially leading to aircraft crashes. Insane….

  • Companies expressed that the “environmentally safe” labeling of retardant led to continuing its use and contracting from the agencies.

  • I cover the firefighter fatalities this week in Mexico.

  • Plus more.
