Fire Savvy: Finding and Navigating Fire Information in California

Date/Time: Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 9 - 10 AM

FREE webinar

As fire season ramps up, you may wonder how and where to find accurate, up-to-date fire information. The information space has evolved and grown in recent years, providing a richer set of resources, but also making it difficult to navigate and compare the available options. Join UC ANR Fire Network Director, Lenya Quinn-Davidson, for a conversation with some of the best minds in this space: Kevin Fetterman (Watch Duty), Zeke Lunder (The Lookout), and Daniel Swain (UC ANR). You will hear about the resources they each provide, how they find and curate their information, and how fire information plays out at different scales, from the individual fire incident to the larger landscape and climate.

Quick Update!

Hey everyone, Chris here. We are going to skip today's episode of the House Calls podcast. Ryan and I are both extremely busy right now, and honestly, there aren't a lot of major market updates to cover this week anyway.

We are also using this time to evaluate moving the podcast to a different day and time. Our goal is to find a spot on the schedule that works better for everyone so we can get more live participation and viewers interacting with us during the show.

We will keep you posted on our new schedule as soon as we lock it in!

Quick Podcast Update!

Hey everyone, Chris here. We are hitting pause on this week's episode of the House Calls podcast.

The reason? I completely failed to look at a calendar and realize that this week is Spring Break! Between the kids being out of school and the general scheduling chaos, we aren't able to get into the studio to record today.

We plan to be right back to our regular schedule next week.

If you or your family are on Spring Break this week, enjoy the time off! We will see you next week.
