Forty Something Years of Fire: an Interview with Wayne Williams

Few people can claim to possess a fire career that spans over four decades. From being a first year firefighter with the California Division of Forestry in the 1970's, to thirty-four years of smokejumping with the Forest Service, and ending with a final six year run with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Wayne Williams possesses a depth of capabilities and a wealth of knowledge that are unrivaled in the world of wildland fire. The importance of fitness, experience, and mentoring are highlighted in the podcast, as is a compelling review of some of the fascinating events within Wayne's long fire career.   This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider.
