What are the benefits of prescribed burning? Why have wildfires gotten so severe lately? What can I do to protect my home and community? Life With Fire podcast aims to answer these questions (and many others) while deepening our understanding of the critical role fire plays in America’s forests, lands and communities. Hosted by writer and former wildland firefighter Amanda Monthei, Life with Fire features interviews with everyone from scientists to fire experts to Indigenous practitioners and people on the ground. Through these interviews, Amanda hopes to explore how humans interact with fire, as well as ways we can better coexist with it in the future.
