Melodrama about a firefighter who is the sole survivor of a disastrous fire, dealing with self-doubt and hostility as he tries to get back into the job. Surprisingly good, a bit melodramatic but with remarkable photography of actual forest fire aftermath. It's free on YouTube though in terrible TV resolution. Wikipedia.
