  • Ulrich Thesis Submitted Jan. 11:18
    Prescribed Fire and Design: Two Biocultural Design Case Studies from Northwestern Ontario by Kurtis Ulrich A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of MASTER OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Natural Resource Institute Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2M6 Copyright ã 2018 by Kurtis Ulrich ABSTRACT This thesis presents a review of two prescribed burns undertaken in northwestern Ontario. The purpose of this research was to explore the design elements that influenced the prescribed burns utilizing a biocultural design. Biocultural design is a framework for exploring and designing cultural landscapes by considering descriptive and evaluative design elements. Design elements were used to guide the semi-structured interviews and organize the data. Interviews were conducted with community members and fire personnel. The key findings of this research are that there are cultural areas and practices that should be included in future prescribed burn designs. However, there are operational limitations and biological and cultural factors that limit the feasibility of the prescribed burn’s outcomes. The conclusion of this research is that future prescribed burns will benefit from a more intentional designing process that includes cultural elements from the community along with biological and operational factors. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the participants from the community of Wabaseemong and the OMNRF. This project would not have been possible without the time they took to participate in my research and share from their experiences. There are numerous people at the Natural Resource Institute whose support has been essential to the completion of this project.

  • Some Fire Departments Look at Mergers Due to Volunteer Drop
    Some Fire Departments Look at Mergers Due to Volunteer Drop Volunteer firefighters are being asked to respond to more calls and get more training and many are not sticking around as long as in the past. By Associated Press, Wire Service Content April 5, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. By ALEX ZORN, The Daily Sentinel GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — Volunteer firefighters have to do more than ever before — more training, expanded responsibilities and an increasing number of calls, and without a salary Adding to that, not many who start as a volunteer firefighter are expected to stick around for very long. “The days of employers letting their employees leave their job to respond on a fire call, on a rescue call, to go battle a wildfire… that doesn’t happen anymore,” Clifton Fire Protection District Chief Charles Balke said. “Employers can’t afford to have their employees be gone for several hours to go intervene in a medical emergency.” Balke first put on his volunteer firefighter hat as a teenager in Arizona, while paying the bills by working as a mechanic and doing landscaping work. He said volunteers and part-time employees spend an average of 3.2 years at the department before moving on. “And that number keeps getting smaller and smaller,” he said. “Volunteers used to stick around for a number of years. Four or five years out of a volunteer or part-timer these days, we come out ahead.” According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 77% of Colorado fire departments are either volunteer-based or mostly volunteer (46% volunteer, 31% mostly volunteer), compared to 23% career-based or mostly career (14% career, 9% mostly career).
