The book reconstructs the November 8, 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed nearly all of Paradise, California, killing at least 85 people, through hundreds of interviews with residents, firefighters, police, and experts. Gee and Anguiano follow individual stories—families fleeing in gridlocked traffic, first responders driving bulldozers into walls of flame, officers recording what they think are their final moments, and a mother who had given birth less than 12 hours before evacuating with her newborn. Alongside these intimate accounts, they explain the science of modern megafires, the role of PG&E and drought‑killed forests, and the ongoing struggle of displaced residents, framing Paradise as a warning about life on the front lines of the climate emergency.
