It works and saves the town they were protecting.
When their Type 1 evaluation comes, he actually shouts down the evaluator and insists on fighting the fire HIS way. Cassandra Truth: Eric, despite being a Type 2 (part-time) firefighter, has a very strong feel for how to properly fight a given wildfire.He says he'd never seen anything so beautiful or so terrifying. It bulls right past the crew and disappears into the bush.
This comes from Eric's memory of one of his earliest fires, an entire forest goes up in flames and out runs a grizzly bear on fire. Bears Are Bad News: Certainly ones made of fire, representing the danger wildfires bring.Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The theme song for the Japanese release of the film is "My Star" by EXILE.The movie itself definitely shows some of the dysfunction and mismanagement, but stops short of laying blame on anyone. Likewise, the movie skips over the finger pointing in the aftermath of the fire, in which a state watchdog organization eventually found the Arizona state Forestry Division (in charge of the Yarnell fire) more focused on protecting property over the lives of the firefighters, which ultimately resulted in a hefty fine being leveled against the organization.The movie simply skips over all this to a 'three years later' epilogue, making it seem like the town was still grateful and supportive to the fallen firefighters. They finally lost a series of very public court battles over it and were forced to divulge the benefits. They also used some breathtakingly nasty tactics, such as telling the town their taxes would have to go up specifically because of the widows and letting the townspeople drive some of them out of town. After their deaths, there also was a massive fight over survivor benefits with the town of Prescott, which denied them to the widows for years. Adaptation Distillation: By necessity a lot of the story and several of the fires the Granite Mountain crew fights are left out before the fateful Yarnell fire.
