No.4 | Burk Minor Wildland Firefighter Foundation | Walking With JK Boots Podcast w/ Tim Khadzhi

"Compassion Spreads Like Wildfire" rings true of Burk Minor and anyone who has had the privilege to meet this man and his heart for the wildland community. Burk Minor is the Co-founder and Executive Director of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation but has been taking care of hurting firefighters and their families long before the foundation's existence - having dedicated thirty plus years in wildland fire and has become a voice for the boots on the ground. Ever since 1994 after the Storm King Mountain Tragedy where 14 firefighters were killed, his life has never been the same. Everyday he and the foundation fill the gap to support the families, friends, and colleagues affected by injury or loss of life in every way they can. Their mission is to provide help where there is greatest need and to properly recognize and honor the past, present, and future wildland firefighters around the globe. Fires around the world are getting bigger and with that the need for the WFF only grows stronger Show your support to WFF Wildland Firefighters Foundation - https://wffoundation.org WFF Instagram-   / wffoundation   Shop for JK Boots - https://www.jkboots.com Follow Us On Our Social Media Instagram -   / jkboots   Facebook -   / jkbootswa   Twitter -   / jkbootsusa   TikTok -   / jkbootswa   Youtube -    / @jkbootsusa   Check Out 'Walking With JK Boots' Podcast Youtube Playlist -    • Walking With JK Boots   Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
