When It All Burns by Jordan Thomas

Fighting Fire in a Transformed World

When It All Burns follows wildland firefighter and anthropologist Jordan Thomas through a brutal six-month season with the Los Padres Hotshots. Blending frontline, vividly rendered firefighting experiences with ecological and historical context, Thomas examines how Indigenous dispossession, federal forestry practices, and the growth of industrial firefighting have reshaped wildfire into a new climate-era threat. The book is an immersive, human portrait of crews, communities, and the forces driving today’s megafires.
