Madeleine Mitchell kicks off the second season of Elements by looking at the dramatically different ways fire can influence our lives.
In Western Australia, the annual Blazing Swan festival culminates with the burning of a giant wooden effigy. The bonfire brings people together to provide them with a sense of awe and joy.
But what happens when a fire is unplanned and uncontrollable? What do we feel then?
Please be aware, the second half of this episode mentions PTSD and suicide. Take care while listening.
