How Technology Can Save Lives In Fighting Wildfires With Andy Bozzo

Wildfires are getting bigger and bigger every single year. Those 100-year fires are now happening at intervals of five or ten years, and they are much deadlier to handle. Andy Bozzo wants to arm wildfire fighters with the right technology to give them a much safer time eliminating this kind of fire, saving many lives in the process. This is where Tablet Command comes in. Andy joins Brandon Dunham to discuss how the tool optimizes resource management and increases situational awareness for those running around on the fire line. He shares how its concept was born out of a game of Words With Friends and continuously being upgraded based on firefighter’s first-hand experiences. Andy also talks about his leadership style of inclusivity and humility, which is far more impactful than simply ordering people what to do.
