Philip Mason speaks with Fire Chief Dan Munsey on prevention-first thinking, wildfire risk, and the cultural shift needed across public safety.

In this episode of the CCT Podcast, host Philip Mason, Editor of Critical Communications Today, sits down with Fire Chief Dan Munsey of San Bernardino County Fire to explore one of the biggest challenges facing public safety today: how we rethink our approach to wildfires.

Drawing on his experience and testimony before Congress, Munsey challenges some of the most widely accepted assumptions around wildfire risk, what he calls the “lies we tell ourselves as truth.” From mislabelling wildfire crises to misunderstanding the role of technology, he outlines why the real issue is not response, but prevention.

Munsey also shares insights into how leadership, policy, and public perception must evolve, shifting focus from reacting to emergencies to preventing them in the first place.
