2019 Micro-Grant Winner: Bre Orcasitas
About Bre:
Fresh air keeps me sane while physical exertion helps my brain from turning into an atrophied blob of mush. I am nomadic by nature and habit. I will make unscheduled stops for sunsets, ice cream socials, sidewalk chalk shenanigans, polar bear plunges, tree climbing and countless other smile inducing endeavors at random.
Writing has always been a bit of a catharsis for me and as life has ticked on I eventually mustered up the courage to put my writing out into the world and in doing so I have recognized that it is perhaps the best way I can contribute to our fire community; by offering a voice to touch on things that matter to the many.

Grant Category: Writing
Project Vision:
My project vision is to stay engaged in the fire world around me and to pull at the thread that has a connection point to us all. Once I find that connection point I intend to develop a 3 part blog series to share. Across the board I try my best to operate in the here-and-now, which requires a dash of trust and a smidgen of patience when it comes to writing.

Favorite thing about firefighting:
My favorite thing is the… all of it. Well, minus someone slamming a port-a-potty door at 5am or getting a stick in the eye, etc. but otherwise, yep, all of it.
