David Strohmaier's long career as a firefighter has given him
intimate knowledge of wildfire and its complex role in the natural
world of the American West. It has also given him rare
understanding of the painful losses that are a consequence of fire.
Strohmaier addresses our ambivalence about fire and the realities
of loss to it. He also examines the process of renewal that is yet
another consequence of such destruction, from the infusion of
essential nutrients into the soil, to the sprouting of seeds that
depend on intense heat for germination, to the renewal of species
as the land restores itself. ""Drift Smoke"" is a powerful and
moving meditation on wildfire by someone who has seen it in all its
terror and beauty, who has lost colleagues and beloved terrain to
its ferocity, and who has also seen new life sprouting in the
ashes. The debate over the role and control of fire in the West
will not end soon, but Strohmaier's contribution to the debate will
help us to better appreciate both the complexity of the issues and
the possibilities of fresh solutions.
