They pay me to set things on fire just to see what happens!!!

So happy to talk about my college experience at Louisiana Tech, the path that led to a career studying wildfires at Cal Poly, and what we can do to slow the terrible destruction we’ve witnessed recently. 1894.latech.edu/podcast/chris-…


Nothing like talking wildfire with fellow scientists while it is raining sideways. Loves me some Ireland!!! #FBF2024

I live a block from the water and experienced this crazy thing, which was brief but VERY eerie. I grew up in Arkansas where twisters are somewhat common, but I NEVER would have expected this here on the left coast.

Jack Jones took this photo of a funnel cloud along Los Osos Valley Road looking westward toward Los Osos as an active band of convective clouds moved eastward toward #SLOWeather. There have been no reports of the funnel cloud reaching the ground and becoming a tornado. #CaWx

Flooding on Turri Road near Los Osos California after the atmospheric river has rolled through. Water is scary dangerous so PLEASE don’t try to cross these flooded roadways.


Scary stuff as a surfer had his leash ripped off his board in epic waves in Montana de Oro State Park. #Yikes


Holy moly! Is this now THREE wildfire ignitions happening on and around the Ca Poly campus in San Luis Obispo??? I’m SUPPOSED to be at a meeting of public and private WUI Fire experts right now, but this (unfortunately) turning into a living lab. #BurnByDoig???


Slurry retardant drop on wildfire in San Luis Obispo as seen from my building on the Cal Poly campus. Fire made a quick climb on hill above high school and seems headed south above Johnson Avenue with high intensity.


New wildfire start in San Luis Obispo, California as seen from my building on the Cal Poly campus. Fire currently burning above #SLO High making decent spread. Yikes!

Another great day in the “office” on a prescribed fire with @CalPoly students. These Forest & Fire Sciences majors likely learned more in 5 hours than in 5 weeks of classroom lectures. Thanks @CALFIRE_SLO for the invite and continued support! #LearnByDoing

Good stuff as always. Look for great new science on fire ecology and management, and upcoming conferences and webinars germane to those who study, live, and work in the world of wildfire.

Bummed! Kevin was always very kind to me (especially over a pint!) and I always enjoyed our conversations. You’ll be missed, mate! #wildfire #science

The fire-prevention community is in shock after the sudden and tragic passing of Associate Professor Kevin Tolhurst, who was “critical to fire prediction” in Victoria. More: bit.ly/3ZIbf3A

AWESOME field tour today demonstrating all of the amazing, collaborative #fuels work to reduce #wildfire #risk to local communities and increase #forest #resiliency on public and private lands around the Shasta Trinity National Forest in n. California!

At the #California #Wildfire & #Forest #Resilience Taskforce (WildfireTaskForce.org) meeting in Redding representing the #WUI Module of @CaFireScience. If you’re looking for a way to disseminate your good work (science or Mgt.), let’s talk!

@calfire_slo working with California Polytechnic State University Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science Masters students to conduct vegetation monitoring for prescribed fires. This will help better understand vegetation dynamics before and after projects.

Stoked to be able to bring some #CalPoly #students to a prescribed #fire near #PismoBeach #California. Thanks @CALFIRE_SLO for allowing us to observe the amazing job your #firefighters and #foresters are doing! @CaFireScience
