If this film is anything like the National Geographic film, hosted by Robert
Urich, then it will be intense.  The smoke and flames were just incredible.
It is not surprising the number of personnel who have become ill with lung
diseases after working there.

You think breathing hydrocarbons from cigs is bad, try breathing airborne
droplets of the stuff.  (Three quarters of the firefighters in the Nat. 
Geo. movie were smokers to boot!!!)

I guess their motto is live hard, die harder.

I saw this film at a preview about 2 weeks ago.

I had no idea of the devastation that was occurring during the fires
over there--from the smoke & heat to the filthy oil covering much of the
land.

Secondly, it was really neat to see all the different ways that the
firefighters
put out the fires.  There were some really spectacular explosions!

I'd recommend this film to anyone interested in firefighting & also to
those con-
cerned about the effects the fires had on the environment.
