04: From Fighting Fire to Living With It - Dr. Kira Hoffman
5:23

Kira HoffmanGUEST

7 MINS LATER
Wildfires Are Only Getting Worse. What Can We Do?

7:15Kira HoffmanGUEST
Uh, so I go out with, uh, different nations, so in this case, the Gidnyenew Nation in, in northern British Columbia.

7:23Kira HoffmanGUEST
We are going out usually as a five-pack, and we're meeting, uh, BC Wildfire, which is the fire agency, and we have a burn that's approved.

7:31Kira HoffmanGUEST
In this neck of the woods here, we actually have some stand-replacing objectives, so we actually do want to remove some of the trees, uh, from around the community because this is a community with one road in and one road out, so we have to think about wildfire risk and getting people in and out of the community safely.

7:50Kira HoffmanGUEST
And, you know, in the morning, we're going out, and we're checking the temperature.
Henry BlodgetHOST
And could we do this in the United States in places like Los Angeles or nearby or, or the Bay Area? Is that reasonable in those communities?
