My Golem as a Wildland Firefighter follows Weitz’s golem as she trains to be a wildland firefighter in Tahoe National Forest (Washoe), and discovers the generative nature of fire. As she undergoes her training, Golem becomes an advocate for controlled burns, a method long used by California’s Indigenous communities, and seeks to educate the public about their efficacy in managing megafires, an increasingly devastating aspect of life in California.
