Summary:
"The dramatic story of one of the biggest natural disasters in Canadian history, the Fort McMurray wildfire of 2016, told by three of the firefighters who fought to save the city. On May 1, 2016, a wildfire burning to the southwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, led to the declaration of a local state of emergency. Two days later, the
fire
had reached Fort McMurray, destroying 2,400 buildings - nearly 10 per cent of the city - and forcing 88,000 residents to flee. At its height, the
fire
would span more than 500,000 hectares. Into the
Fire
is an extraordinary first-hand account of fighting a major wildfire as it moved with terrifying speed. Over the course of six days, firefighters Jerron Hawley,
Graham
Hurley
, and Steve Sackett of the Fort McMurray
Fire
Department joined
fire
departments from across the country and local expert wildfire teams, to battle the blaze. In photographs and notes made at the time, they vividly describe what they witnessed; their own personal losses and triumphs; and above all the
fire
's devastating effects. With more than 120 stunning colour photographs, Into the
Fire
is a dramatic eye-witness account of one of the most catastrophic disasters in recent North American history. Intimate in its telling, it is above all a testament to the courage, pride, and extraordinary efforts of the citizens of Fort McMurray, who along with emergency personnel, came together to save their city."--From publisher.
