Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World
A gripping account of the 2016 Canadian oil town wildfire, which turned entire neighbourhoods into firebombs and drove 90,000 people from their homes. John Vaillant explores our relationship with fire, an energy source that has shaped our culture and civilization.
As our world becomes increasingly hotter and more flammable, the destructive power of fire has been unleashed in ways previously unimaginable. This is an urgent examination of humanity's future in a world where fire is no longer a controlled force.
