Where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there's fire, there's Stephen Pyne.
He may be the foremost authority on wildfire on the continent, with more than a dozen books to his credit. They include a work called Between Two Fires, detailing the tug-of-war between all-out fire suppression and the deliberate use of fire to help maintain a forest.
And he visits an area that is no stranger to wildfires--ours--with an Ashland appearance tonight (June 22). Stephen Pyne visits our studio to talk about the subject he knows best.
