Cally and Collin talk to folks impacted by the fires in CA, OR, and WA. We chat with a climate scientist to understand the influence of warmer temperatures on the fire. Episode Art Credit: Photo by MILKOVÍ on Unsplash

We recorded this podcast before the devastating fires exploded on the west coast. When we say living with fire, we do not mean living with the kind of fire we saw this week. Our thoughts are with everyone whose lost homes, favorite places or god forbid loved ones. As we live through these fires, I hope we can look towards a future where we have a more balanced relationship with fire. We've changed the name of the episode to good fire to reflect that there are (at least) two kinds of fire.The Nature Conservancy's Training Exchange Program
