Experienced firefighter Aaron Williams offers a tangible window into the intensely physical, high-adrenalin lifestyle of fighting fires sixteen-hours a day in an apocalyptic landscape, as well as insight into the history, mechanics, and politics firefighting.
A powerful and engaging account, Chasing Smoke is a gritty, exhilarating and danger-filled memoir of forest firefighting in British Columbia, where the weather and geography with hot, dry summers, steep terrain, and population density in forested areas make it one of the most difficult places in the world to fight forest fires.
