Dave Dukart Explains Why a New Federal Fire Department is Coming

Описание: With 26 years of service in the BLM, National Park Service, and US Forest Service, veteran fire manager Dave Dukart provides a rare inside look at the cultures, challenges, and evolution of federal firefighting. He discusses everything from using fire line explosives to the bureaucratic hurdles that stop innovation, and explains why the biggest changes must come from the bottom up.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

A Career Across Agencies: The different missions and fire philosophies of the BLM (multi-use), NPS (preservation), and USFS (a mix).

Old vs. New Tech: Using fire line explosives to drop trees and the shift to modern tools like drones and BurnBot.

A New Federal Fire Agency: The breaking news that the federal government plans to consolidate its wildfire services.

The "Boots on the Ground" Perspective: Why the best way to get new technology adopted is to get buy-in from the firefighters, not just leadership.

Bureaucratic Hurdles: How procurement rules and a "check-the-box" safety culture can stifle innovation.

The "Armchair Quarterback": The danger of leadership making decisions without understanding the on-the-ground reality.

Proactive Training: Why the US is training military crews for fire response before the season peaks, a major shift in strategy.

Lessons from Prescribed Fire: The personal health risks of "eating smoke" and the complex politics of managing fuel.
