I lay out the case for hazard pay on Prescribed fire. It could actually save money, increase retention, and, one could argue, make the RX environment more safe.

I cover the fatalities that have occurred in RX burns in the last few years as well.
I cover the Hotshot injured in Tennessee.
There was another entrapment in California. We discuss the report on this incident, why it happened, and how it went down.
