CAPTAIN CHADWICK PEABODY AND COOPER

The foundation to Malibu Fire is Captain Chadwick Peabody’s Ahab-like obsession with defeating these fires before they spread into firestorms, go out of control and destroy everything like a drunk, fire-breathing dragon: “This can’t happen again. Twenty minutes of focused prevention in force is worth 10 years and $200,000,000,000 in cure.” Captain Peabody is ready to retire, but his obsession won’t let him. He hires Cooper out of Montana because he sees Cooper is a younger version of himself: Army Ranger, capable, confident, loves a fight. Hates fire, loves fire, loves fighting fires.
