Summary

Rob Roth is following up on a small wildfire in the forested hills surrounding Oakland, California - a blaze which firefighters got under control the day before. With his wife due to give birth, Rob is hoping that today of all days he can get home on time. But this routine assignment veers wildly off script. When the winds suddenly change, Rob and his colleague will find themselves stuck - camera still rolling - in a reignited inferno… A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
