In this episode of The EOC Podcast: Emergency Operations Conversations, we reflect on Oregon's devastating 2024 wildfire season—the worst in the state’s recorded history. With 1.9 million acres burned and countless lives impacted, we explore the challenges, lessons learned, and the incredible bravery of those who responded to the crisis.
We honor the legacy of James Bailey Maxwell, a 74-year-old pilot who tragically lost his life during the Falls Fire, and discuss the critical role of aerial firefighting in emergency response. This episode is dedicated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, a remarkable organization supporting wildland firefighters and their families. Visit wffoundation.org to learn more and support their vital mission.
Join us as we examine the response strategies, partnerships, and resilience needed to face a growing wildfire threat in the Pacific Northwest.
