Join Bay Area writer, journalist, and wildfire survivor Dani Burlison in a discussion of her recent book Red Flag Warning: Mutual Aid and Survival in California’s Fire Country (Editors: Dani Burlison and Margaret Elysia Garcia). We’ll discuss how wildfire affects communities, including our own, and what we can learn about living with fire from Indigenous Californians, community organizers, mental health care workers, environmentalists, fire analysts, sustainable loggers, parents, and more. This event is sponsored by Friends of the Montclair Library. [Copies of the book will be sold by A Good Great Place for Books.]
