A little over ten years ago, the wildland fire community lost one of its greatest leaders: Paul Gleason. Cancer may have taken his earthly body, but his memory and legacy lives on forever in our hearts.
Paul's leadership influence was not confined to wildfire as we read in John Long's "The Real Deal: The Tao of Paul Gleason, Stonemaster Emeritus."
