Fire is an ancient technology that has helped shape human evolution. Our ancestors used fire for safety, cooking and preserving food. They gathered around a flickering fire to share stories, pass on cultural knowledge and build community.
Today, fire is an important industrial tool. It remains woven into our daily lives and rituals (think blowing out candles on your birthday cake). As it did millions of years ago, fire can shape our landscapes, having the power to both devastate and rejuvenate entire ecosystems.
