What happens

Wildfire is a five-part Canadian documentary series, created by Kevin Eastwood, Clayton Mitchell and Simon Shave, that aired on Knowledge Network from April 29 to May 27, 2025. The television series follows people who work on the frontlines of wildfire suppression, while also examining how climate change has exacerbated unsustainable forestry management practices to create a major fuel build-up that is the cause of some of today's modern mega fires.
