Synopsis:
Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire's start. We visit fire labs where researchers burn down houses to learn how they ignite. We venture to the heart of a massive wildfire in Northern California to watch those lessons being applied on the fire line. From Indigenous fire management to the suburbs, from a 10,000 acre "planned" fire in a National Forest to the Woolsey Fire that threatened thousands of homes in Malibu, we learn how people, homes, and forests can coexist with fire.
