Mega Fires Deadline to Disaster : Season 2 Episode 3

Years of drought turn much of California wildlands into a tinderbox, all that's missing is the spark. On August 17, 2020, a series of lightning strikes ignite multiple fires around Napa Valley, fanned by intense winds they rapidly intensify into the LNU Fire Complex. Surrounded by flames, a husband and wife must survive on a pontoon boat as the fire torches a marina. A family of former firefighters go head to head with the fire to save their ranch. During evacuations, two fire chiefs make an incredible discovery. To the south, the Creek Fire explodes on September 4th. Relentless Diablo winds spread the fire at breakneck speed, and the inferno quickly burns out of control. Around the rugged Mammoth Pools Reservoir, hundreds of visitors find themselves surrounded by flames as a National Guard helicopter is sent on a nighttime rescue mission.
