About this listen

We think we understand fire because we have experienced it, yet most of our intuitions are wrong. As the wildfire crisis continues to intensify, Drink The Wild Air talks to Dr Thomas Smith, a pioneer in the science of wildfire and Associate Professor In Environmental Geography at the London School of Economics. He has travelled all over the world to test out a unique method he has devised for measuring the gases produced by large-scale infernos. Here he talks to us about everything from his early experiences of forest fires to a hairy experience involving over-sized ants.
