Title: Two Sides of Fire
Description of Resource: Fire is a paradox: good if it is under control, and usually bad if it is wild and out of control.  Wildfires have devastated millions of acres of forest land, however, together with Smokey Bear, we've achieved a great deal of success in fire prevention.  Now we're beginning to realize that we need to reintroduce fire to many ecosystems.  It's often an essential management tool needed to maintain stands of fire dependent species in a healthy condition.  We can now see the "Two Sides of Fire."  This high energy video is aimed at middle school audiences, but will appeal to all ages.
