What started as a 10-acre fire on Table Rock Mountain quickly escalated into one of the largest wildfire responses in South Carolina history. In this episode, we go inside the firefighting operation as it exploded from a manageable incident to a 13,000-acre "complex fire" burning in two locations simultaneously. You'll hear from pilots coordinating massive aerial operations, firefighters watching their containment lines fail, and the moment everyone realized this fire had become something entirely different—complete with the sound Mac Stone describes as "like a jet engine."
Special thanks to our guests: Darryl Jones (South Carolina Forestry Commission Forest Protection Chief), Lee Berry (SC Forestry Commission Pilot), Austin Williams and Mackenzie Boyd (Greenville Water), and Mac Stone (Natural Land Trust Executive Director and National Geographic photographer).
