Season 2 Episode 34
This week is the first of a two-part conversation with State Fire Marshal Daniel Berlant. He leads the wildfire prevention and preparedness efforts for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). California is home to nearly 40 million people, who live all over the 164-thousand square acres of land that make up the state. The third-largest state in the country by area, and the most populous state in the country by far. It’s safe to say that when it comes to wildfire, Berlant has his work cut out for him. In our first episode, Berlant discusses his department’s response to the Eaton Fire and how CAL FIRE is trying to “treat” hundreds of thousands of acres of wildland to restore natural habitat while protecting the increasing number of people moving into the WUI.
