Part 2: The "High"
​Being chosen for export is an incredible opportunity, so, it was no surprise our crew was very excited when we were notified we would be heading to British Columbia on day one of our next shift.  With no idea where we would be stationed or what to expect, we happily loaded our gear bags into the truck and hit the road.

I was fortunate to attend the recent FireSmart Canada’s Community Series held October 2nd-4th, 2018 in Fort McMurray, Alberta, thanks to student funding provided by the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA). The Community Series conference involved a diverse group of participants including community members, forest companies, industry, government, and scholars, who share the responsibility to face the challenges of wildfire threats to our communities.

​I recently returned from a four-month assignment with Parks Canada in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks of Yoho, Kootenay, and Banff national parks. Fire management in these parks is a year-round activity, but field activities are concentrated in the spring and summer. This meant that I was involved in a wide variety of prescribed fire, wildfire, and fire research operations during my work assignment.
