What is River of Fire: The Rattlesnake Fire and the Mission Boys about?
It was late evening when the wind over a brush-choked canyon in northern California unexpectedly shifted and roared downhill. The Rattlesnake Fire had been burning since midday on the Mendocino National Forest, and the fresh, violent wind picked up embers from the fire and spun them down into the depths of the canyon, blowing into a thunderous torrent of fire. The sight mesmerized veteran firefighters, and long fatal minutes passed before they remembered a crew of twenty-four working in the canyon below. Fifteen of them began a race with fire down the canyon, while another nine scrambled upward toward safety. Other firefighters watched in horror from above as the fire hurtled down after the men and snuffed out their headlamps, one after another. The Rattlesnake Fire and the Mission Boys
