Calli-Jane West of the Butte FireSafe Council joins us on the show today. She has a wealth of fire history knowledge and a passion to teach the importance of land stewardship to all, especially our children and our growing community. A timely episode, as fire season is around the corner in 2025, here are a bunch of links that Calli-Jane shared with me so you can dig deeper into the importance of being firewise in Butte County and beyond.
