When planning this year's symposium, I had no idea that FF health would be a national topic (@nytimes articles), that decades of 😷 policy would shift (@NWCG Safety Bulletin: 24-001), or that the fed admin would centralize fire efforts ( Executive Order 14308).

Just arrived in New Orleans for the @IAFFofficial leadership training summit and they saved the best for last. I’m speaking in an emerging issues session about smoke impacts on firefighters’ reproductive health.

In October, @umontana hosted the 5th annual Rocky Mtn Wildfire Smoke Symposium. As founder and planning committee member, I invited a member of the @CSUVetMedBioSci social media team to document the event and my lab’s contributions to field. Enjoy!!

At the @fireadaptedco Colorado Wildland Fire Conference we heard about horse alert which is an app for connecting horse owners and truck and trailer owners to move horses out of harms way during wildfires. Cool way to be empowered to be #wildfireready
