Chris Barth, with the State of Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection, takes us behind the scenes to update us on the fire season around the state and to give us a glimpse of his world fighting forest fires (wildfires). For more forest fire information in Alaska visit www.akfireinfo.com.

Since Chris is from Missoula, MO, we knew we had to introduce him to Lois Simenson, aka., Lolo Paige, author of the Blazing Hearts Romance Novels whose stories are based on the wildfire fighting industry and the relationships within it. Lois attended the U of Montana in Missoula and spent part of her career fighting wildfires from which her stories are based.

Check out her books on our Big Alaska Show Book Review Section along with links and interview podcasts. We pulled one of those podcast clips and added it to today's show. Check out the fun podcast!
