Summary

The Cedar Fire--the largest wildfire in California's recorded history--ravaged the San Diego area in late 2003, burning 280,000 acres, destroying more than 2,200 homes, and killing 15 people. Leaving her doomed home the night of the fire with her husband, two Newfoundland dogs, and cockatiel, Sandra Millers Younger drove through flames and was saved by a bobcat that showed her the road she couldn't find in the dense smoke. In this revealing narrative, she takes readers into the heart of the epic firefight, telling the stories of firefighters scrambling to combat a catastrophe bigger than they'd ever imagined and recounting both survivors' and victims' desperate efforts to escape flames
