    Amazing piece

    I was hesitant to watch this. I thought I knew what I needed to know about the fires in the West. Global warming, overdevelopment. This piece blew my mind open. The heartbreaking first hand accounts. The investigation into the fires' origin. You must watch!

    PS: great music choices.

    its like a prescribed fire...

    Its got a lot of heart and a lot of filosophy especially in the last third of it, the first half is just a thunderroar of action between the paradise fire and malibu fires of 2018 that devastated whole communities, and took the management and urban planners with their pantyhoses pretty far down, and made an abrubt wake up scream for the political foras and governmental hallways farther east. What they have done after that is pure impertinentic overswellin svada about heroism and making major forest industry even richer due to ''fell them all'' policy, instead of clear the brush and slash and heavy litter by low intensity methods, done by a workforce that must be a tenfold of todays numbers of employees. Ive observed that some of the lowpaid ones are due to get a larger paycheck this season, and even more if staying put till the end of the years last fire and that is a start, but will they do more than that ? Make forestry management a profitable alternative for green lovers and buy a couple millions of goats and wildsheep then a vast part of the brush problem wouldve been solved. Pay the heardsmen for the job, and youll have even more people employed and out of social security payrolls., and youll have milions of pounds and gallons of meat and milk on top of that too... well that was a large digression made by a grumpy old man.

    Its a lovely and beautiful production, well edited and narrated, the filming at times awesome, and its all done by an immigrant with a different view of the topic. So you will not loose 2 hours of yourlife if watching this documentary, but not so extremely much wiser you wont get.

    Its a should see movie by the douptful crowd, and a must see for all schoolchildren of the united states that may turn the direction on the compass towards a sound and healthy natural environment management in the future, so come on baby light my fire, cause fire is your friend if used in a friendly way.

    Great Doc. Highly recommend watching.

    Zombie stoner Grandma was truly terrifying and she haunts my dreams....

    ...................attending her 90th bday party? Ummm Nope. Burning alive would be a far better outcome in my view.

    Fire is not the enemy. Zombie stoner grandma is.

    preaching to the choir, to some extent. It's pretty annoying

    Look, this is a fine doco film covering a timely topic, but it's a bit annoying listening to rich people whinge about their homes burning, when they insist upon flexing their money muscle by building in stupid places.- While these people continue to build in fire prone areas, because they can, they'll continue to lose their houses.

    Listening to the arrogance of some, combined with the bare faced truth of the situation told by a few, leaves the viewer very frustrated.

    Rich people want rich people houses in rich people areas. As long as America stays America, this will continue to happen.

    And the people will continue to rebuild over and over and wonder why their houses keep burning.

    The realists have the right idea and their input is the only thing that saves this.
