39: “United Against Wildfire” Guests: Vic Upshaw & Craig Moore

May 31, 2024 • FireSmart

In this special two-guest episode, we speak with Vic Upshaw, the response support supervisor for FNESS, and Craig Moore, the founder and president of Rider Ventures, to explore their extensive experience in the world of wildfire resilience and response. Through our conversation, we learn about the importance of collaboration between communities, the BC Wildfire Service, and other organizations in protecting our province from the growing threat of wildfire. With over 60 years of combined experience, Vic and Craig have learned that close collaboration at all levels allows us to pool our knowledge, skills, and resources to create a unified strategy that enhances immediate response efforts while strengthening long-term resilience.

This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Wildfire Resiliency and Training Summit.
