About the Book

Burning Texas: The Smokehouse Creek Fire and the Fight to Save the Lone Star State is a gripping and timely account of the largest and most destructive wildfire in Texas history, and the heroic efforts of the firefighters, volunteers, and residents who fought to contain it.

In late February 2024, a spark ignited a blaze that would consume over a million acres of land, threaten dozens of towns, and claim two lives. The Smokehouse Creek Fire, fueled by dry and windy conditions, raged across the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma, creating a wall of flames that could be seen from space. As the fire spread, thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes, businesses, and farms, while hundreds of firefighters from across the country rushed to the scene to battle the inferno.

But the Smokehouse Creek Fire was not just a natural disaster. It was also a human story, full of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. This book tells the stories of the people who faced the fire, from the ranchers who tried to save their cattle, to the journalists who documented the devastation, to the politicians who declared a state of emergency, to the scientists who investigated the causes and consequences of the fire. It also reveals the lessons learned from the fire, and the challenges and opportunities for the future of Texas and its environment.

Burning Texas is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, culture, and ecology of the Lone Star State, and the impact of climate change on its landscape and people. It is a thrilling and inspiring tale of survival, heroism, and hope in the face of adversity.
