Wildfire Wars Frontline Stories of Bc's Worst Forest Fires

Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing, 2002. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 1550172786. Signed by Author; Top corner bumped ; A bright solid, book, DJ in Mylar, unclipped. Signed by the author on the title page. ; B&W Photographs; 0.91 x 9.24 x 6.4 Inches; 296 pages; Go behind the fire lines of BC's most fabled blazes. Keith Keller vividly chronicles the advent of firefighting innovations from bulldozers to airborne Rapattack crews - and nature's persistent indifference to that arsenal. Wildfire Wars also reveals how firefighting brings out the best and worst in the rough-and-ready lot who tackle this job. Keller tells of political infighting and clashing egos among Forest Ministry brass, and of booze, drugs and arson on the fireline. But he also finds heroes at every link in the chain of command, from fire bosses who must make quick life-and-death decisions on little more than instinct to ordinary firefighters who risk their lives to save lumber, livestock and each other..
