In 1994, a wildfire on Colorado's Storm King Mountain was wrongly identified at the outset as occurring in South Canyon. This unintentional, seemingly minor human error was merely the first in a string of mistakes that would be compounded into one of the greatest tragedies in the annals of wildland firefighting. Before it was done, fourteen courageous firefighters--men and women, hotshots, smokejumpers, and helicopter crew--would lose their lives battling the deadly, so-called South Canyon blaze. John N. Maclean's award-winning national bestseller, a gripping work of narrative nonfiction, Fire on the Mountain is a stunning reconstruction of the killer conflagration and its aftermath.
This definitive account of the South Canyon blaze reveals:
- A Minute-by-Minute Account: Follow the sequence of unintentional errors and escalating dangers that led to the tragic outcome on Storm King Mountain.
- A True Story of Courage: Honor the fourteen hotshots, smokejumpers, and helicopter crew who faced the impossible and made the ultimate sacrifice.
- Meticulous Investigation: Understand the science of fire behavior and the complex decisions firefighters must make in a split second.
- A Lasting Legacy: Explore the aftermath of the tragedy and the profound impact it had on the firefighting community and safety protocols.
