Wildfires are no longer isolated to our forests in California. They now also threaten our cities. On the fourth episode of California Burning, we focus on where urban and wild spaces meet and hear from people who have experienced some of the most tragic fires in California’s history.
"We need to learn from those lessons and carry them forward so that not only Paradise when it's rebuilt will never have this happen again, but other communities are across the state and the nation can also benefit from the same experience we've had." —Jim Broshears
