This is a nonfiction book about wildland firefighters and what it takes to be one. It was a fabulous read with accurate terms and great descriptions accompanied by detailed photographs. ( ) This book is about the many sides to wildfires. It is a book about the dangers that people must face in the midst of a wildfire, the training that must go on, and how wildfires are used to protect nature. This book offers discussion about planned versus unplanned wildfires and the purpose that planned wildfires have on nature. A chapter in the book discusses the training of a Smoke Jumper and the equipment they need for their activity. "Fire in Their Eyes" offers a variety of perspective, experience, and emotion towards wildfires and is a great informational story about the very aspects. This is a book a would have never given a thought to if it hadn't been for this course. Having read it, though, I find myself so impressed with the dedication and commitment of those who fight wildfires. As a fourth-grade teacher, I can use this when we study the Oregon economy and Oregon natural resources. The stories put the reader right in the action--whether it's at training camp or at the site of a forest fire. The photographs catch the attention of the reader and the stories keep them hooked. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
