Surviving Wildfire: Get Prepared, Stay Alive, Rebuild Your Life (a Handbook for Homeowners) Linda Masterson

Every year wildfire destroys thousands of homes, devastates countless lives and burns millions of acres. And every year people who ve lost everything say: We didn't think it would happen to us. If only we'd been better prepared. Now homeowners have a straight-talking handbook to help them get prepared, stay alive when wildfire threatens, and rebuild their lives if disaster strikes.

Author and researcher Linda Masterson knows what it's like to flee a wall of flames in the middle of night, with just minutes to escape with her life and very little else. Her home burned to the ground in Colorado's Crystal Fire in 2011.
