Burn Out

Five firefighters. One rescue mission. And something hiding in the smoke that's more deadly than the fire itself.

When EMT-P Emily Reese temporarily joins a wildland firefighting crew to evacuate miners from a remote claim, she expects a few days in the wilderness and a brief opportunity to get a glimpse into a job far removed from her urban routine.
Instead, she finds the encroaching wildfire is the least dangerous part of the assignment. The miners are dead. The bodies are wrong. And something in the smoke is making the crew see fire not as a threat, but as salvation.
As her team begins to fall one by one, Reese faces an impossible choice: reveal her secret and risk everything...or stay silent and watch them burn.
BURN OUT is a visceral descent into biological horror, survival, and moral compromise, where staying alive may cost more than dying.
