Embracing the Dual Nature of Fire
This chapter explores the complex and transformative relationship between humanity and fire, encouraging a shift in perception to view fire as a fundamental aspect of life rather than merely a destructive force.

By framing fire as a companion to humanity, the chapter advocates for an integrative approach that recognizes fire's historical significance and essential role in ecosystem dynamics.
