Episode 2
Wednesday, 30 September, 2020
In this episode of the California Burns podcast, host David Barrett covers some of the pressing issues related to the current wildfire conditions in California. Our special guest for this episode is firefighter and photographer Rick McClure. Captain McClure has been capturing fires with his cameras since he was a boy. After a lengthy career with the Los Angeles City Fire Department, Rick is currently a Captain with the LaHabra Heights Fire Department, and his work as a photographer continues. Is photographing wildfire as dangerous as it sounds? Does it impact firefighting operations? How are the often remarkable images helpful in evaluating the history of these destructive fires? We talk to Rick about all of these issues, and his insight is both useful and instructional. Rick McClure is one of the featured photographers in our eBook, California Burns.
