Bob Ritchey enjoyed being a wildland firefighter and EMT. He fought fire all over Montana, big and small, from Yellowstone Park to Glacier Park. One day, he and his crew got a routine call to check out some smoke, so Bob and Joe, one of his crew members, loaded up in the truck and drove to the location. It was a small fire, so Bob proceeded to walk around it to get information for Harlowton headquarters so they would know what type of equipment was needed to put out the fire. But today was not to be routine. Suddenly, the fire blew up; it surrounded Bob on all sides. When he realized that he was trapped by the fire, he had to count on God and his training to save his own life. What happened next and how he dealt with it are detailed in this book.
