Port Protection Alaska “Burn It All” – Tuesday May 20 on National Geographic

A routine attempt to quiet generators spirals into a potential catastrophe for Sam Carlson in the upcoming episode of National Geographic’s Port Protection Alaska. Titled “Burn It All,” the episode, airing Tuesday, May 20, at 9:00 PM ET, sees a fire erupt that threatens to consume Sam’s home.

The incident underscores the constant perils faced by the roughly 100 residents of the remote Alaskan community of Port Protection. Living an isolated existence characterized by self-reliance, the inhabitants operate without roads, official government, or law enforcement. This tenth episode of the eighth season highlights the high stakes involved in their off-grid lifestyle, where the community’s resilience is frequently tested against the backdrop of Alaska’s challenging environment.
