Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District’s Mike Palamara and Mitch Lamboeuf were invited to talk on behalf of our department to the Lincoln Hill’s youth community. This is the second year we have been asked to be involved in this program, which provides exposure to mountain environments to youth groups. Both Mike and Mitch were able to elaborate on the roles wildland firefighters, as well of many of the vast support roles such as finance, logistics, air resource and others that are needed in the wildland firefighting field. Many of the young adults in this group were high school juniors and seniors who are embarking on a future career decisions and we were excited to share our enthusiasm for the wildland fire career field.
