Wildfire season. Smoke season. It’s now a part of our lives here in Southwest Washington. Smoke drifts in from beyond our borders, and now fire is igniting in our backyards. As summer approaches, we are all asking ourselves: Will our air fill with smoke?
The Columbian Conversation, hosted by Associate Editor Will Campbell, will uncover what’s happening and what we can do about it. The event will feature a firefighter who has struggled to contain a blaze on the front lines, an expert on the science of ecosystems after a fire rips through a forest and an emergency services manager on how people should respond to this new and growing threat.
