  • So Great!

    I look forward to the biweekly episodes, each of which leaves me wanting to dive deeper into fire investigation training. Because WTF.

    I loved the initial SAW podcast and when I saw the agenda for the southern OR IAAI and learned that there was going to be a SAW exercise I was bummed that I was unable to attend. Loved this episode as well.

    Hopefully the SAW group will expand its reach and I will be able to attend something like this.

    Keep up the GREAT WORK!
