WALL OF FLAME : The Heroic Battle to Save Southern California - 1st Ed

Description: WALL OF FLAMEThe Heroic Battle to Save Southern CaliforniaBy Erich KraussLike New - 1st Edition - Hardcover & Dust Jacket A dramatic look from the front lines at the most devastating fire siege in California history. With over seven miles of urban/wildland interface unburned for thirty years and beautiful homes lacing in and out of its picturesque hilly terrain, Rancho Cucamonga was a powder keg--one that finally exploded in October 2003 with a ferocity no one could have expected. Now, Erich Krauss brings you to the ever-shifting front lines of the battle against the catastrophic inferno, the rugged terrain, and the ferocious winds, where municipal and wildland firefighters joined forces to save thousands of homes and lives.Wall of Flame recalls the unprecedented events surrounding the Grand Prix Fire, revealing the moments of apparent indecision, the lack of coordination, and even how local, state, and federal firefighters--each with missions that at times opposed one another--put their differences aside for the greater good in order to save Southern California. With each passing hour, the fire grew larger and their task more immense. * * * * * * * * SELLER'S NOTE: All of the images provided here are of the actual book being offered.
