<p>On Today’s Show: To Subscribe and Support https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/</p><p>The Wildfire Technology Summit takes place next week in Salt Lake City, Utah, where wildfire leaders, operational subject matter experts, and technology companies will come together to discuss capabilities, systems, and requirements in the wildfire space. </p><p>It is not a traditional tech trade show, but a 4 day event to bring leaders from all across the wildfire and tech spaces to directly engage around real world operational needs, share ideas, and meaningful ways their technologies can be implemented into wildfire response, pre fire mitigation, post fire work, and more. </p><p>I welcome Chief Mark Niemeyer, CEO of the Western Fire Chiefs Association, who is helping to facilitate this summit. This is a 4 Phase process, with Phases 1 and 2 already completed. Phase 3 is this Summit, and Phase 4 will be for procurement. We will discuss the progress made so far, what’s next, and how to successfully provide tools for the operators on the ground to protect our landscapes, communities, and themselves. </p><p><strong>THE HOTSHOT WAKE UP </strong>— <em>Thank you to all of our paid subscribers.
