A lost hunter inadvertently sets in motion a terrifying chain of events. As his signal fire gets out of control, it becomes a massive, uncontainable wildfire. Within minutes, the blaze is rampaging west - towards the hills outside San Diego… towards the houses nestled among the slopes… like the one where Sandra Younger lives with her husband. Can they make it out in time? A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
