A local anthropologist created the San Diego Fire Stories Project and collaborated with a local historian to record the October 2003 wildfire experiences of more than twenty-five individuals:  Native Americans, biologists, land managers, fire fighters, artists, and property owners.  Interviews are archived at the San Diego Historical Society, and were supported by the California Council for the Humanities, the San Diego Commission for Arts & Culture, the San Diego Historical Society, and the San Diego Foundation Blasker Environment Fund.  Some of these stories are woven into a 17-minute videotape, “Fire Stories,” that plays continuously in the Earth, Wind & WILDFIRE exhibition at the San Diego Natural History Museum. These narratives reveal varied perspectives on human interrelationships with fire while confirming the value of everyone’s stories.  And everyone has a story: where they were during the October 2003 fires: the loss of homes; evacuations; whether favorite natural places burned; and evidence of nature’s recovery in burned areas.
