On the morning of July 3, 1994, a misreported forest fire on Storm King Mountain in Colorado became one of the greatest tragedies in the annals of firefighting. In this dramatic reconstruction of the disaster and its aftermath, John N. MacLean tells the heroic and cautionary story of nature at its most unforgiving.

Enjoyed it, but at times a sad indictment of our society.

I enjoyed the story, but was outraged by the suggestion that some people didn't know what was more important - human lives or property. Anyone that doesn't inherently know that a single human life is worth more than any amount of property is a freaking sociopath! The way it was presented in the story made it sound like it was a question that wasn't immediately clear to people. I struggle to understand how that could be the case.
