What to Expect From the Rest of Wildfire Season…And How to Stay Safe
Thanks to cooler weather, firefighters are making progress this week on three major Southern California wildfires. But the Airport, Line and Bridge fires have already burned through more than 100,000 acres, destroyed dozens of homes, and forced thousands to evacuate. And experts say California’s fire season could get worse before it gets better. We’ll get updates on the fires and hear about the latest research on the health effects of wildfire smoke, and what you can do to protect yourself. Guests: Madison Aument, reporter, KVCR Nick Shuler, Deputy Director, CALFIRE Amy MacPherson, Information Officer, California Air Resources Board Joan Casey, Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington
