BURNING OJAI: OUR FIRE STORY, debuting WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28 (7:00 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. EST / PST), follows one family and the residents of Ventura County, CA through a journey of devastation, repair and survival after one of the largest wildfires in state history destroys their beloved community.

On December 4, 2017, as the Santa Ana winds whipped through Ventura County at dangerously high speeds, the Thomas Fire broke out and ravaged nearly 282,000 acres of land.

Ultimately, BURNING OJAI underscores the resilience of Ventura County's residents at a time when the threat of California fires shows no signs of slowing.
