The Kenai Peninsula's wildfire season began a few weeks sooner than in year's past. That's primarily because of a lack of snow coverage last winter.
On this week's episode, we're chatting with Howie Kent, fire management officer for the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Kenai/Kodiak area office, and Jeff Bouschor, fire management officer for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. We're speaking about fire suppression tactics, safety and expectations for the 2025 wildfire season.
