ReadingTheDots@social.vivaldi.net"Wild Fire: Dispatches from a Country Ablaze" by Jesse Winter. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.
Book description: Award-winning journalist Jesse Winter takes us on a dangerous and often heroic journey to the frontlines of three Canadian wildfires. He takes readers on a dramatic and riveting journey to the frontlines of some of Canada’s most devastating blazes. Weaving together incredible stories of everyday courage, danger and disaster, Winter offers a unique view into our current peril—sharing invaluable insight from those who’ve faced down Canada’s hungriest infernos.
In its way, this book reads like a fiction thriller, except this story is all too true. There is much detail about wildfires, their causes, devastation, and the people and technology used to fight them.
