"Almost very educational - Yellowstone - Firefighters, their lives and dangers.
I must admit that I bought it because of Scott Foley from [The Unit] but the movie was well worth it.
The dangers are always real just never brought to our attention of all the dangers and risks that these men and women face when the blaze starts to take out millions of acre's of trees and park-lands.
I sure hope that the far shots of the blazes were not real - the up-close shots were too real. It reminds me that we must remember these people in our prayers. And hope that the government agencies are not as stupid and money-grubbing as they sound. [Probably a forlorn hope.]
This movie is Definitely recommended for the more mature audience - and not for some twitchy kid that thinks starting a fire is a lark."

"This is an excellent story. Richard Burgi and Scott Foley do a great job in telling of the forest fire fighters and their families. I enjoyed the extras of how Yellowstone was formed as well."
OMG I haven't laughed this hard in moons!

"OK one word: really?
Having fought fires for oh 6 years now I have a true appreciation for bad fire movies, i mean is this really what most people think we do for a living??! The first half was so painful I almost had to turn it off...until the main character puts on a "space suit", mistakenly identified as nomex, and walks through fire (yes walks through fire). I was shocked at how many fire terms they had spewed off, but can only recall one being used right.
I love these cheezy wildland fire movies. this one does have the most cheezetasteric fire shelter scene (hello thermometers?) This is below "firestorm" with howie long but above "nature unleashed fire". A fantastic cure for a hangover. I would also recommend "super fire"."
