The IAWF establishment of the Bill Gabbert Fellowship in Wildfire Reporting was initiated by a generous donation from Mark C. Sedenquist, a long-time supporter of WildfireToday and a 50-year student of fire.Sedenquist worked on the Angeles National Forest in 1973-1974 on Engine 314, and on the Coronado National Forest in 1976 as Silver Peak Lookout.
