In the remote Oregon wilderness, a 50-year drought has turned thousands of acres of timber into kindling that threatens to become a superfire. With enough devastating force to rival on atomic bomb and the ability to burn ten square miles in only two minutes, it is a catastrophe no one could predict, let alone control. When the fire starts, an entire town stands squarely in its path, and it is up to an elite force of smokejumpers and tanker pilots to provide a thick line of defense against the fiery Armageddon. Parachuting into a hellish inferno takes far more than an iron will and good luck, it takes courage at its finest.
