Wildfire Explorer
— Paradise, CA.
More than 4.5 million acres burned in California in 2020, where one out of every 3 houses, more than 4 million homes, are located in areas at high fire risk.
Fire risks are increasing worldwide and there is an urgent need for action. 2018 was one of the worst years for wildfires in California’s history. More than 1 million acres burned, and more than 100 people died. Virtual Planet’s Wildfire Explorer is a 360° immersive experience that shares the story of the most destructive and deadly fire in California’s history, as well as various strategies to reduce fire risks to woodland communities in the future.
The Camp Fire will be remembered for destroying a beautiful California community, but that memory is already evolving into a story of innovation, strength, and resilience. We hope this virtual reality experience provides you with new insights on wildfire safety, and the urgent need to reduce fire risks in a warming climate.
Official Selection: Curta Brasília, short-film festival.
