Feature Stream: Wildfires: Fierce Earth

 

As wildfires rage across the U.S., impacting air quality and climate thousands of miles away, we seek to understand the power of this phenomenon and the people who risk their lives to keep the flames in check.

"The Fierce Earth team investigates wildfires and discover how they rage all over the world, leaving a trail of devastation and destruction. We travel to Colorado and meet one of the youngest female fire fighters in the U.S., who has been on the front line and tackled wildfires head on after her house and part of her neighborhood was burnt down. Zoe experiences first-hand what it feels like to try and outrun a wildfire and Leo's challenged to see how long he can survive in raging heat of up to 800 degrees in a special fire chamber experiment. A BBC Production. A part of the series Fierce Earth (Series 1).
