00:00We are stuck in it.

00:02It's hot.

00:03Hot, right now.

00:05There's explosions everywhere.

00:07Ah!

00:08It's okay, you guys.

00:09It's okay.

00:10Oh, my God.

00:11Oh, my God.

00:12The last thing I remember hearing Daniel say was,

00:15don't worry, I'm going to find you.

00:18We have a real problem.

00:20Small towns being incinerated by wildfires we cannot stop.

00:26I had to walk away from everything that we have ever known.

00:29Six of the seven largest wildfires in state history

00:33have happened in the span of just a year.

00:36The idea that we can fireproof this huge landscape.

00:40That's impossible when you've got thousands of homes in the fire's path.

00:45So I'm glad we got out with our lives, you know.

00:48It's the most important thing.

00:50Residents are now left wondering if there's anything that can be done

00:53to keep their communities safe.

00:55The research that has gone on for the last 30-plus years

01:00shows us that we're going in the wrong direction.

01:03Our ancestors included regular cycles of burning.

01:09I do not fight fire. I like fire.

01:12Wildfires, they're part of an ecological stimulus

01:15that rejuvenates the landscape.

01:18We don't have to live in a concrete ammo bunker

01:22to be able to control wildfires.

01:24I didn't spend decades learning about all of this

01:27to not have people use the science.

01:32In a few short years, we could maybe eliminate

01:35communities being destroyed by wildfires.

01:38It's a sacred obligation to bring fire back to the land.

01:43Give us the blessing of fire.

01:45We have huge opportunity.

01:48We wanted to live in the forest.

01:50We didn't expect the forest to adapt to us.
