When forest fire threatens the communities near Matt’s small airstrip at Brooke’s Vale, flying fire prevention missions is initially just about being a good neighbour. Unfortunately, his primary experience is cropspraying, with firefighting a distant second. Involuntarily grounded, Matt is left to organise the community when communications and power are lost. With the airfield the only connection to the outside world, it is vital to get people out. Unfortunately, Brooke’s Vale isn’t the only town under threat. A rash of arsonists, unseasonal winds, and the sheer scale of the fires leave the emergency services stretched beyond the limit. With thirty stranded residents, the roads blocked, one two-seater aircraft, and help that may arrive too late, he’s got his work cut out for him.
