🔥 Introducing 2020 Wildland Fire Digital Storytelling Micro-Grant Winner Katie Wimpari (katiewimpari )! 🔥 Katie was selected in the writing category and is one of our US winners.
ABOUT KATIE: I am married to my best friend, experience severe episodes of snaughling, and am perpetually covered in dog hair.
KATIE'S PROJECT VISION: I want to share the voices of the people on the ground as well as in the offices, and have this be a "katalyst" for firefighters to think about their health from a different perspective. The more we keep growing as people, the more we can adapt to change as wildland firefighters; and as we do that, we will see a shift in how we operate, plan, dispatch, and communicate. With this project I hope to convey that our mental health is not just a silly, cliche topic, but an overlooked aspect of our job and wellbeing.
KATIE'S FAVORITE THING ABOUT WILDLAND FIRE: The camaraderie and crazy stories shared with everyone.
