Gripping but inaccurate
I wanted to love this podcast, but it’s really inaccurate. A little bit of review could have fixed a lot of it, but it seems like they were more interested in a compelling story than a quality podcast.

A lot of the personal stories of the responders were pretty over the top as well. Overall, the story sounds great but it seems like they did a pretty good job of not let facts get in the way of the drama.

I would have given it a pass had they solely focused on the Eagle Creek fire, but if your purpose is to give the history and...Read full review »
