About this episode
In today’s episode, host John Haskell talks with Kyle and Kristin Marshall, ranchers from Burwell, Nebraska, about their recovery from a devastating wildfire 18 months prior. The fire, which began as a controlled burn on a neighbor's property, spread uncontrollably, destroying significant portions of their ranch. The Marshalls discuss the emotional and financial impacts, their recovery process, and navigating insurance claims and federal assistance. They emphasize the importance of documentation, advocating for yourself, and community support, as they share lessons learned and their journey of rebuilding, resilience, and finding hope after fire.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Marshall family’s experience following a devastating wildfire
- The losses they incurred and the challenges they faced in navigating insurance claims and federal assistance
- Advice for others who are faced with this challenge and practical tips to get through it
- Their reflections of the journey and how both the good and the bad parts taught them lessons and ultimately gave them hope for the future
