Gripping and fascinating, this illustrated account explores a
previously unstudied yet important aspect of New Zealand's history:
its wildfires. Examining the terrible fires that devastated the
country as both Maori and European settlers wrested a livelihood
from the land, this book explains the European mentality behind the
fires and the resulting vocal arguments against the terrible loss
of valuable resources. Based on historical records and oral
interviews with employees of the State Forest Service, it also
offers a comprehensive look into the approaches and techniques
involved in tackling this phenomenon--including the efforts of
rural firefighters from the shovel and bucket brigade and those of
the firemen and women who form a huge, largely volunteer
network.
