This episode of Bread + Roses is about our reliance on methods and structures that fail to protect workers in this changing environment. We first talk about what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and how it often falls short in protecting health and then we discuss the Wildland Firefighting industry and how it has changed overtime as fires become more common, bigger, and more toxic. Lastly, we interview an actual wildland firefighter about their day to day. And if you'd like to prepare your house for fires so these men and women can stay safe and keep us safe, here's some resources. https://www.nfpa.org/education-and-research/wildfire/preparing-homes-for-wildfirehttps://wfca.com/wildfire-articles/firewise-defensible-space/
