Synopsis

Fatal Fires reconstructs three fatal fires to find out the characteristics of a killer fire, revealing how it goes about its deadly business: how easily fires start, what feeds them, and how ill-prepared most people are to fight a fire. Interviews with survivors, fire fighters and investigators are woven with actuality of real (condemned) houses set alight. Fatal Fires screened in TV One's Danger Zone series, which included DIY Disasters and Dangerous Waters.
