Manage episode 464262153 series 3004310
The images are stunning and heartbreaking. Entire neighborhoods eviscerated in the Los Angeles area by wildfires in January 2025.
Community Matters turned to southwest Michigan fire safety expert and educator Michael McLeieer at ESCAPE to talk about the approach to fighting wildfires. He also discusses how firefighters are trained for such fast-moving infernos - and how they can happen almost anywhere, given the right conditions.
