“Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire” takes viewers on a journey with top experts and survivors to better understand how homes and communities ignite in fast moving wildfires and what steps we can take to prevent these disasters.
Learn about the harrowing escape from Paradise, California; research examining why some homes burn and others don't; and Native American practices that have long used fire to restore landscapes and increase safety. Elemental explores the complicated relationship humans have with fire and how we can prepare our homes and communities.
After watching "Elemental," people want to take action. They want to make sure their own home is prepared for fire, and ensure that their entire community is safe. And they want the support and expertise to make it happen. More about preparing your home>
