Chat with the Chief

While visiting Fishlake National Forest in Utah, I had the opportunity to sit down with Kelly Cornwall, district fire management specialist on Richfield Ranger District. We had a wide-ranging chat that elaborated on my wildfire letter of intent, how workforce reshaping might affect firefighting and how the secretary plans to support us, and my priorities related to active management of our forests.

I invite you to watch the full video above or read the transcript below for the full discussion.
