In just a few seconds, a spark can turn a forest into a rapidly spreading inferno of intense heat and suffocating smoke. Firefighters try to control the wildfire—a battle that might last for months. Water can be used to fight wildfires, but too much water can cause deadly floods. Floods reduce land to swamp and sweep away houses and bridges. In their wake, they leave food shortages, contaminated drinking water, and diseases like cholera and typhus. Follow the scorched trail of the worst wildfires ever, learn what causes flash floods, and discover the technology that helps predict these devastating disasters.

"Every year, droughts, floods, and fires impact hundreds of millions of people and cause massive economic losses. Climate change is making these catastrophes more dangerous. Now. Not in the future: NOW. This book describes how and why climate change is already fomenting dire consequences, and will certainly make climate disasters worse in the near future. Chris Funk combines the latest science with compelling stories, providing a timely, accessible, and beautifully-written synopsis of this critical topic. The book describes our unique and fragile Earth system, and the negative impacts humans are having on our support systems. It then examines recent disasters, including heat waves, extreme precipitation, hurricanes, fires, El Niños and La Niñas, and their human consequences. By clearly describing the dangerous impacts that are already occurring, Funk provides a clarion call for social change, yet also conveys the beauty and wonder of our planet, and hope for our collective future"--

The book records the memories of local people who volunteered during the fires that engulfed the Macdonald Valley, NSW, Australia for nearly two and a half months from 2019-2020. The fires were followed by violent electrical storms and widespread flooding. The images in the book were taken, mostly on mobile phones, by volunteers while working on the scene. The text is drawn from interviews with volunteers who worked on the fire front, prepared meals for fire fighters, delivered supplies, saved animals, looked after isolated people, donated food, drinks and much needed fire fighting equipment, sent messages of support, answered the telephones, operated the radios, or simply came to the fire sheds to wash up, sweep or clean the toilets. The book has been published by the Macdonald Valley Association with the assistance of a grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.
