🌿 Fire Season Isn’t a Season Anymore (223.02.109)

Is wildfire season becoming wildfire year? In this episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Earth Mamma Dominique and Coach Mamma Erica explore why California’s fire season seems to be expanding, how wildfire preparedness has changed, the fascinating history of indigenous controlled burns, and what practical steps every family can take to stay safer. Along the way, they introduce the new word Pyrocontinuum (pie-ro-con-TIN-you-um), meaning a period when wildfire risk continues almost year-round instead of being limited to a traditional season. Grab a cup of pine needle tea and join this timely conversation about resilience, preparation, and community. 🔥🌲 Fire season isn’t a season anymore.
