Brad Ingelsby was responsible for adapting the screenplay for the novel Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire, written in 2018 by Lizzie Johnson. The story is told from the perspectives of Kevin McKay, a heroic bus driver, and Mary Ludwig, a school teacher. The tandem helped maneuver a bus full of children through a deadly fire that was turning the town of Paradise into a giant inferno. It was the deadliest fire in California history, ravaging most of the city and killing 85 people. Source: Deadline
