01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Eric Marsh, superintendent of Fire and Rescue Crew 7 in Prescott, Arizona, receives a call to the Cave Creek Complex Wildfire. Due to Crew 7's status as municipal firefighters, Eric's prediction that the fire will threaten a nearby neighborhood is ignored by a Interagency hotshot crew from California. The fire behaves as Eric anticipated, and the neighborhood is destroyed.
