This episode concludes our deep dive into the Table Rock Complex Fire with the dramatic final days of firefighting, including the historic deployment of a DC-10 Very Large Air Tanker and over a million gallons of water dropped from aircraft.

Special thanks to our guests: Darryl Jones and Lee Berry from the South Carolina Forestry Commission, Austin Williams and Mackenzie Boyd from Greenville Water, and Mac Stone from Natural Land Trust who provided incredible documentation of this historic wildfire.

What started as 10 acres from careless hikers became the largest mountain wildfire in South Carolina history—but also a remarkable story of coordination, community support, and the people who risk everything to protect our forests and homes.
