The Esperanza Hearth started Oct 26, 2006, in the San Jacinto Mountains above the Banning Go away near Cabazon, California. It destroyed 41,000 acres and dozens of homes and cost the taxpayers $16 million us dollars. But definitely the best costs of the conflagration were the lives of the five-man crew of Engine motor 57, the first engine crew ever wiped out fighting with each other a wildland blaze. Hearth and superheated gases experienced erupted in a freak "area ignition," mailing flames sporting across three-quarters of the mile in mere mere seconds, engulfing the crew and the house these were defending. The lethal blaze was quickly decided to be no incident. Within a week, serial arsonist Raymond Lee Oyler was caught and priced with almost two dozen matters of arson - and five matters of first level murder. The Esperanza Hearth recounts with drama and perfection the gripping information on the hearth and of Oyler's precedent-shattering trial and its stunning conclusion. John Maclean put in more than five years exploring the Esperanza Hearth and covering the trial of Raymond Oyler. The result is an exciting, moment-to-moment insider's chronicle of this devastating and tragic inferno and the pursuit, capture, and prosecution of the man who intentionally place it.
