🔥 A powerful listen!

Author A.J. Otjen joined host Rich Bennett to talk about “Burned Over!”—the true story of Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen, who survived a 60-mph wall of fire and the long, difficult road to recovery.

They dive into Red Lodge’s “summer of hell,” the community that rallied behind Dan, and the deeper lessons about survival, resilience, and hope.
