Ordeal by Fire

The biggest wildfire in North American history is brought to life, revealing what it means to us today, when the people of America are still figuring out how their federal government should manage and protect federal lands. It also explores how 21st century frontier technologies and people are coping with each other and with the ancient cycles of fire in a harsh yet beautiful land.
