About this episode
Spotting wildfires is serious business. Former "lookout" Trina Moyles visited the Dawson City fire tower and tells us about its veteran smoke-spotter, Markus Lenzin. Drawing from her own seven seasons stationed at a remote tower in northern Alberta, Trina shares the solitude, awe, and challenges of the role of a lookout in detecting and reporting wildfires in the Yukon and beyond.
Trina Moyles is the author of Lookout—Love, Solitude, and Searching for Wildfire in the Boreal Forest. She wrote about Markus and the Dawson Fire tower in the winter issue of The YUKON Magazine (formerly Yukon, North of Ordinary).
