The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a leader in the nation’s wildland fire management. BLM Fire carries out a broad range of actions to protect the public, natural landscapes, wildlife habitat, recreational areas, and other values and resources. The national BLM Fire program focuses on public safety as its top priority, and consists of fire suppression, preparedness, predictive services, vegetative fuels management, prescribed fire, community assistance and protection, and fire prevention through education. To meet its wildland fire-related challenges, the BLM employs highly trained professional firefighters and managers who are committed to managing wildfire on our public lands. The BLM Fire program is headquartered at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho, where it works with seven other federal agencies to manage wildland fire, primarily in the western United States. Wildfire Matters takes you behind the scenes to talk with the people who strive to manage the landscape, protect our precious natural resources, and keep our communities safe as we continue to learn how to live with wildfire. #WeAreBLMFire To learn more about NIFC or the BLM, please visit our website: www.nifc.gov.

    From thermal infrared flights at 10,000 feet to the daily intel reports guiding national strategy, this episode takes you inside the engine room of wildfire intelligence. We sit down with Scott Mayer with the Bureau of Land Management and Rachael Hansen with USDA Forest Service both based at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise to explore how data becomes decisions.

    They share how real-time intel, coordination, and infrared technology shape the way we respond to wildfires across the country. Whether you're a firefighter, land manager, or just fire-curious, this episode pulls back the curtain on the people and systems we all rely on during fire season.

  • Two Roles, One Goal: Suppression with Stewardship

    Two Roles, One Goal: Suppression with Stewardship
    Jun 25 2025

    What does it take to build fireline with 60,000 pound machines and protect sensitive ecosystems while doing it? In this episode of Wildfire Matters, host Caleb Ashby sits down with Dustin Hall, a seasoned dozer operator, and Erik Kriwox, a veteran Resource Advisor (READ), to explore how wildfire line construction with heavy equipment works on the ground.

    From navigating lava fields and avoiding buried pipelines to negotiating riparian zones and habitat concerns, this conversation digs into the risks, responsibilities, and real-time decisions that happen on the fireline. Dustin and Erik also reflect on post-fire rehabilitation, what it's like to return to a fire scar months later.

    Whether you're in fire management or just curious about how heavy equipment plays a role in wildfire response, this episode delivers insights, practical knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for the balance between suppression and stewardship.
