Have a story about wildfire?Looking for stories of fire from Corbett: Do you or someone you know have a story about first-hand experience with fire, like the Eagle Creek Fire? We’re looking for volunteers who have personal stories about:
Evacuations from home due to wildfire
Encountering wildfire while recreating in the backcountry
Hardships experienced during smoke events
Other impacts of wildland fire on lives/livelihoods
Using fire as a tool for agriculture or forest management
Other unique personal encounters with wildland fire
We are seeking volunteers this month to participate in a 45-60 minute digital interview with a member of our research team to tell their stories. Please consider volunteering or passing this along to a friend or family member who has a first-hand fire story. Deadline to participate: Nov 5, 2020. To interview, please email Kayla Bordelon:
kbordelon@uidaho.edu.
The educational impact of your stories: Your stories are powerful and your experience of fire on the Western landscape can help others connect to fire science in meaningful ways. If you choose to tell us your fire stories, you will be helping to expand understanding about the value of storytelling in fire science education.
