The story of the Ham Lake fire, at the time the most destructive wildfire in modern Minnesota history—the blaze, the firefighters' battle, the human toll
Gunflint Burning is a comprehensive account of the dramatic events around the Ham Lake fire of 2007, one of the largest wildfires in Minnesota history. In sharp detail, Cary J. Griffith describes the key events of the fire as they unfold, transporting listeners to the front lines of an epic struggle that was at times heroic, tragic, and sublime.

Acute natural perceptivity and a profound knowledge of the relationships to be found in nature combine here in vivid evocations of the sights, the sounds, the vast stillnesses, and the events of the wilderness as the seasons succeed each other. But Mr. Olson is not content merely to "describe"; he probes for meanings that will lead the listener to a different and more revealing way of looking at the out-of-doors and to a deeper sense of its eternal values.

The true story behind the events that inspired the major motion picture Only the Brave. A "unique and bracing" (Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots" - firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires. Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona.

Our part in the Cosmos
Excellent reading of a detailed run down of destruction and human behavior. I appreciates the details and real stories from those on the ground and in the air. Having gone into BWCAW and frequented the Gunflint trail made the story alive and makes me much more concerned with fire and forest management.
Our next BWCA trip with include Ham Lake to see regrowth and fire starting point. Thank you.

Written like a textbook or documentary. Cover and title mislead me
The flashy cover and exciting title had be pumped for a harrowing story or stories of survival during a wildfire. Instead, I got a documentary, interspersed with short stories and quotes.There was a lot of overlap in the stories too, often using flat out repetition in explanations of the same event or process.
The audio book could have been 3 hours shorter, and would have been a much easier read, had the process and “legalese” of every firefighter’s role not been repeated 4-5 times as a header to each story. I wanted to hear from the PEOPLE, not from their professional guidebooks.
I’m sure it’s accurate, though. It does document the event and its players well. I’m glad it was written, and did learn some things from it.
