In the summer and autumn of 2018, california experienced its deadliest ever wildfires. They claimed the lives of over 80 people and whole towns were destroyed. But as residents tried to escape, the firefighters did what they always do they ran towards the danger. It is a profession that relies on courage, education and, increasingly, the latest science and technology to better understand how fires behave and how to beat back the flames. And if you want to be a firefighter, this is where you learn the craft. The International Fire Training Centre in darlington, in the north of england.
