It's about time!

Very impactful movie and is a must see for anyone in the fire community, be it Wildland or structural you will benefit from this.

For those that are not, you will find a new respect for the fire community.

A story that should have been told decades ago and now told through the lens of director Scott Briggs, a story of cover ups, lies and deceit form many state and federal agencies.

34 years I've carried a burden and still do but I'm excited to look forward to a day of healing.
