‘When It All Burns’ recounts a historic megafire season with the elite Los Padres Hotshots

The Gifford Fire in Southern California has reached “megafire” status, burning an area bigger than Atlanta. Megafires, which burn more than 100,000 acres, have become increasingly common in recent years. A new book, “When It All Burns: Fighting Fire in a Transformed World,” is the first-hand account of a season with a team of elite firefighters. John Yang speaks with author Jordan Thomas for more.
