From June 16th to September 20th, I worked as a Firefighter Type 2 and Firefighter type 1 trainee on E-1101, see image 1, for the Olympic Region of Washington’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR). I began this internship as a first step into the complex organization that is the DNR to better understand how it interacts with local social and environmental systems. As part of the DNR I have hoped to learn their inner machinations, think big picture about socio-environmental-economic system in fire, and to gain concrete experience and skills for future work.

Natural hazard planning is complex and highly important for protecting Whatcom County’s population and environment, and I hope this report may shed light on areas where we may …
