Chasing smoke : a wildfire memoir

Williams, Aaron (Aaron Lloyd) (author.).

Summary: An enthralling insider-account of how a fire season unfolds. Experienced firefighter Aaron Williams shares what it's like to work sixteen-hour days in an apocalyptic landscape, where the smoke is so thick your snot runs black and you need to drink ten litres of water a day. Williams chronicles the seasonal existence of a firefighter, all while examining the wider world of firefighting -- interweaving the history, mechanics and politics -- as well as the micro-world of the small crew who willingly put their lives on the line.
