Kale Casey is more than familiar with wildfires— how they start, the damage they can wreak and ways to prepare for them. In a virtual discussion hosted by Colorado Mountain College, Casey presented on his past 14 years of experience in fighting wildfires and engaged viewers from Kansas City to the Western Slope by answering questions on best practices to establish year-round, not just for fire seasons.
“When you spend that much time out there with the crews you really start to internalize what they go through, what this challenging lifestyle really is. The aches, the pain, the loneliness. Missing weddings, missing birthdays … but you really do realize that these folks year-in and year-out are heroes,” Casey said.
