Schelly Olson - Grand Fire Protection District 1
Manage episode 282145393 series 2855003
Schelly Olson, a fulltime Grand Lake resident for the past 16 years, wears many hats. Her day job is the Assistant Chief of Administration & Community Risk Reduction at Grand Fire Protection District. Her side gig is acting as a Public Information Officer on wildland fires across the country. And, in her “spare time,” she is the chairperson of the Grand County Wildfire Council, a not-for-profit organization focused on helping residents prepare, prevent, mitigate and survive wildland fire events.
We talk about a wide range of topics related to Schelly’s work in and around wildland fire, firefighting and fire prevention. Particularly, the Williams Fork and the East Troublesome fires. The latter claimed Schelly’s family home (one of nine first responders to lose their primary residence in the fire). We also discuss the kindness of the community and the heroic efforts of the firefighters and emergency responders across many agencies during and after the wildfires in Grand County.
