With over 160,000 acres scorched and resources stretched thin, this is the most intense fire season Greg has ever seen — and Will, in his eighth year with the service, confirms it’s one of the busiest he’s faced. Though initially drawn to the outdoors rather than firefighting, Will finds deep fulfillment in the camaraderie and challenges of wildland work, even taking a brief break for Independence Day. Greg, proud of his son’s path and trusting his judgment, also highlights the often-overlooked role of tackling small fires — a vital part of preventing catastrophe. Together, father and son embody resilience, duty, and the enduring spirit of Colorado’s firefighting legacy. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
