I'm not sure what the worst part of this movie was, the hack direction, the lame writing, the preposterous plot, the wooden acting, or all of the rest. They say if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I can't say anything nice.
Tracey Gold plays a woman incarcerated for manslaughter -wrongly so -who while in prison volunteers for smoke jumper training and despite brushes with the hard -nosed trainer rises to become the leader of a smoke jumper team .This is sent into action to combat a conflagration in which her estranged 10 year old daughter is caught .Can she douse the fire ,hold together her squabbling team and rebuild her relationship with the daughter ? These are the key questions in the movie and they are resolved in the way you would expect .
Budgetary constraints lead to overly obvious use of stock footage which is at least consisitent with the stock characters as portrayed in the teleplay .The acting is consistent with the standard expected of the telemovie-in short competent but not striking -and if you can ignore the low budget and lack of any originality this is okay as a time passer

I have watched the movie and I totally disagree with the previous listings, I thought that Tracy Gold and the rest of the crew on the movie did a great job. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I personally give it a Ebert and Roper 2 thumbs up.
Come on, now. Movies are intended to be theatrical endeavers that are intended to provide enjoyment and entertainment; not to be analyzed like some microbe in a petri dish. Let's analyze the previous review. First: If, as you say, the fire was beneath fire tower 13 the character of "Mother" would not be alive to recieve the citation. Second: Wildfire 7 was doing more than just patting a few leaves, they were attempting to create a firebreak to slow or stop the fire from advancing. Third: the tree bridge; yes the bridge was inches above the flames and yes lamb chops are cooked the same way; however, the lamb chops aren't moving. Lastly: the character of "Nell" was convicted of manslaughter, did six years in prison, fulfilled her parole obligations, did four years in the forestry service and was a contributing member of society.
Now for my review. I found this movie to be a fine film that keeps your interest and has a few good action scenes. The ending, however, I found a little disappointing. Did Nell and her in-laws come to some sort of arrangement regarding Sophie, why was the grandmother keeping all of Nell's letters, and what was uncle Nick's story?
