Extreme Fire presentation with Kale Casey - Gift of Education speaker series

Colorado Mountain College Glenwood Springs presents “Extreme Fire” as part of its free speaker series, The Gift of Education. The event features a virtual presentation and discussion with Kale Casey, an information officer during the Grizzly Creek Fire.

Now based in Alaska, Casey is a 14-year wildfire veteran who spent over 20 years living on Colorado’s Western Slope. For 50 days last summer, he served as one of the lead information officers on both the Grizzly Creek and Cameron Peak fires in Colorado.

Casey will talk about and share insights regarding the highly unique wildfire behaviors firefighters saw last summer. He’ll also discuss Firewise principles – measures communities and individuals can take – to protect property and businesses.
