A multi-award winning title from master storyteller John Vaillant, Fire Weather is a gripping account of an unprecedented firestorm that obliterated the town at the heart of Canada's fossil fuel industry.
Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration, Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.
Fire has been a partner in our evolution for millennia. Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to escape our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways.
Urgent and compelling reporting from the frontline of Now.
