Fire historian Stephen J. Pyne explains the relevance of the Interior West region to the national fire scene. Pyne discusses the region's recent return to prominence due to fires along its front ranges; to invasive species, both exotics like cheatgrass and unleashed natives like mountain pine beetle; and to its fatality fires, notably at South Canyon in 1994.
