Fire Wars follows the men and women of the Arrowhead Hotshots as they tackle blazes during the long hot summer of 2000 -- one of the worst wildfire seasons on record, with more than six million acres destroyed. The season erupted with a supposedly controlled burn of excess fuel at Los Alamos, New Mexico. The fire spread, consuming hundreds of homes and threatening a nuclear facility. From their base in King's Canyon National Park, California, the Hotshots -- one of 65 specialist crews trained to deal with wildfires, which can be lethally unpredictable -- are seen in action at the Clear Creek fire that burned for almost two months and at one stage razed 20,000 acres in just three hours. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Wildfires|zUnited States|xPrevention and control. 650 0 Wildfire fighters|zUnited States. 650 0 Fire Ecology. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Wolfinger, Kirk,|efilmmaker. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 914 kan1135827
