I find the title to be misleading because for instance an ambulance chaser is someone who goes after accidents to profit; a storm chaser is someone who illegally chases storms for profit. So to call these fire chasers is misleading. This is not about people chasing fires to make profit, this is about firefighters and in particular it seems to be about using the correctional system to create firefighters to help block a shortage. Which I thought was also misleading since this is not just about firefighters nor the huge California fires. I'm only into episode 2 and I'm probably not going to watch more because even though I have immense respect for firefighters I find that this is too chatty, especially about the correctional people, which don't interest me, sorry to say, and not really much focus on what I would deem the real firefighters or how they fought these fires. I worked for a law firm during what they call the campfires up in Northern California so I have a pretty good idea of what they left out and there is lot. As far as this one fire starting from an illegal campfire, That's not unusual- it's extremely typical and unfortunately we just don't have enough people out in the forest trying to stop this type of behavior. I do wish there were some way to make those people responsible for the millions of dollars spent on these fires. But I also don't believe that we should spend so much money just to save houses. If they can have people evacuate and just try to contain the fire I think that's all you can really hope for. I think it's ridiculous to spend billions of dollars a year trying to save houses. Because you know who pays for all that is the taxpayers. Anyway there's only three reviews here so I don't expect anyone really will read this but for those who are in the documentary who are likely the only three reviews, kudos to you and your family God bless you.
