Finished reading this a few days ago. I can’t possibly put all my thoughts into words here. This stunning account of the massive fires & destruction in Fort McMurray in 2016. The book describes the science behind wildfires, bitumen & petroleum, the boreal forest, and how the conditions attributed to a perfect storm creating this catastrophic event. The book features many personal accounts from residents & firefighters from that day, and what happened afterwards with insurance adjusters, cleanup, picking up the pieces and rebuilding.
Living in British Columbia we have a close relationship with the forests and wildfires every year. This book blew me away. Our climate change is terrifying.
If you’re looking for an absolutely gripping nonfiction read, this could be it.
