Through studio updates, roadblock reports, and handheld wildfire footage, Fire Breaks captures the scale of disaster and the intimacy of survival. When a firefighter finds a lost boy inside the blaze, the film narrows from spectacle to empathy. Created with AI-driven cinematography and real-world sound, it’s a portrait of connection amid catastrophe.
