wildfire management

President Trump has signed an executive order on wildfire policy, which seeks to speed responses to wildfires and address what it calls "reckless mismanagement."

J. Bradley Washa, USU Assistant Professor of Wildland Fire Science gives us a recap of last year's fire season and indicators that help predict what Utah might see this season for the summer months.

Today we talk with USU professor Paul Rogers about wildfire, as well as such issues as growth and housing, wildlife habitat, Native American co-stewardship and myths of the Old West and New West.

Lessons were learned from this year's largest wildfire in Utah.
