In one moment, there's a simple spark, and then roaring flames
surge 200 feet into the air, devouring forests. Trees, from root to
canopy, are burned to the ground. Airtankers and helicopters hover
above, executing an air attack. Brave firefighters, equipped with
flame resistant suits, leap from helicopters onto the treetops and
descend to the blazing forest floor. In this book, young readers
will learn about the ecological impacts of wildfires, the ins and
outs of fire science including tactics for prevention and
containment, cutting-edge technology used to track wildfires and
predict fire behaviour, and about the impressive skill, survival
tactics, and bravery required to control a wildfire. Also included
are expert tips, fun facts, and breath-taking photos taken by the
author.
