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.

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 WUI or wildland urban interface is a complex ecological and social geography that has made the news in recent years with massive fires in California. Some have called for more restrictions in building as a solution to WUI issues. In this episode we explore lessons we can learn from our neighbors, past and present, that may lead to other solutions.
