A dramatic, front-line look at the most devastating fire siege in California history With over seven miles of urban/wildland interface unburned for 30 years and laced with homes in and out of hilly terrain, Rancho Cucamonga was a powder keg, one that finally exploded in October 2003 with a ferocity no one could have expected. Wall of Flame brings readers to the ever-shifting front lines of the battle against the inferno, the rugged terrain, and ferocious winds, where municipal and wildland firefighters joined forces to save thousands of homes and lives, driven to persevere because, for many, this war was a personal one: it was their homes, their communities, they were charged with protecting. Erich Krauss (San Diego, CA) has written for the New York Times and is the author of nine books, including On the Line: Inside the U.S. Border Patrol (0-806-52544-4), and Wave of Destruction: The Stories of Four Families and History' s Deadliest Tsunami (1-904132-77-4), which focuses on the December 2004 tsunami that ravaged the coastlines of Southeast Asia.
