What Fire Reveals: Capturing What's Lost and Found After a Wildfire

from The California Report Magazine · host KQED

A year ago this August, some 12,000 lightning strikes exploded across Northern California, igniting more than 585 wildfires. In the Santa Cruz Mountains scattered blazes grew into one massive burning organism — The CZU August Lightning Complex Fire — scorching some 86,000 acres, and destroying over 900 homes and Big Basin Redwoods, California’s first state park.  In the aftermath, the storytelling duo The Kitchen Sisters turned their microphones on the region, looking for what was lost and what has been found since lightning struck.
