Hi, welcome back to the Livingwith Fire Podcast. I'm your host
Megan Kay Outreach Coordinatorfor the Living with Fire Program
at the University of Nevada Renoextension. And I am very excited
to get to announce that we areworking on season two of our
podcast and are about to startreleasing some new episodes. So
I wanted to give you a littlepreview and talk about what to
expect on season two of theLiving with Fire Podcast.

(00:26):
When fires occur, we don't wantto develop tools and
technologies just like we canrespond to them. That's just
hard to do. Right? We need totreat this thing at just a much
larger scale because the burnsare big, and they're going to be
continually into a continuing tooccur.
For a lot of people in our area,especially after the last two
years, which have been weeks andweeks and weeks of smoke there
was almost like a traumaresponse to the smoke in the air

(00:49):
and just like oh, okay, here we go again.
So it's not about, oh, we'regonna have to serve water that
doesn't meet standards. No,that's never going to happen.
It's about mitigating becauseyou can have impacts and it
would create potentiallyincreased treatment costs.
Humans are a part of ourecosystems, and they always have

(01:11):
been and we've always been landtenders and stewards of the land
through 1000s of years.
This season on the podcast, wewanted to tell a broader story
of what it means to live withwildfire. So we are exploring

(01:31):
some topics that are notnecessarily related to wildfire
itself, but impacts of wildfirethat are more under the surface,
or maybe go unseen. So far thisseason, we've already talked to
some experts about wildfire,smoke, trauma, watershed
management, mental health, andmore. I'm very excited to share

(01:54):
these stories with you. And ifyou haven't already, remember to
