When Life is in Ruins
 In
this show we discuss what it means to lose
everything in disasters such as the
California wildfires. In October of
2003, Southern California experienced the
most devastating wildland fire disaster
in state history. At the peak of the
October fire siege, 14 wildfires burned
close to one million acres while
threatening countless lives and
properties.
In the forefront of this
devastation was the Cedar Fire, the
largest and most destructive blaze in
California history. Although the entire
2003 fire siege was historic, it is the
Cedar Fire that will set the benchmark by
which Southern California fires will be
measured for years to come. With 280,278
acres burned, it became the largest fire
to ever burn in California, tragically
killed 14 people, and destroyed thousands
of structures.
