 Fire is such an instantaneous effect on the ecosystems. They're also drawn to the way the TNC operates. Wildland Fire has a reputation for brutal work schedules and long, unpredictable stretches away from friends and family. But the TNC gives its workers fixed schedules, meaning they know exactly when they'll be home. That's allowed Kaltenbach to be an active part of the Moon Mountain String Band back in Eugene. All but impossible to imagine in other corners of fire. That's Slug singing.
