Show Notes
Tune in for an insightful conversation with Brian Hutchinson, a seasoned veteran of the Canadian fire services in both wildland and municipal sectors. The discussion highlights Hutchinson's career trajectory and the evolving relationship between wildland and structural fire fighting, particularly in the context of the WUI and the increasing severity of fires. The conversation also explores the interagency agreement in B.C., which facilitates the deployment of municipal fire resources to provincial wildfire incidents. Finally, the interview touches upon the need for national standards and better integration of municipal resources in wildfire response across Canada.
