As a wildfire advances, an inexperienced deputy sheriff must evacuate his town and protect it from looters.

However there is an inherit problem with man V nature stories the natural force can’t be an antagonist it can only be an obstacle for obvious reasons. Therefore man V nature scenarios are often used as backdrops to another story where the element of danger introduced by the natural force heightens the stakes.
So what makes a good man V nature story is a clear and preferably unique danger from a natural force combined with a good antagonist to add complications for the MC.
I think best if you describe one of the looters as a ring leader or criminal master mind. If anything take it further and make it personal by having the antagonist do something bad to the MC in either the past or present to further motivate the MC.
Hope this helps.

Agreed with the above comments the concept has a few potentially fundamental logic problems in the logline already, these relate to the character and his motivations.
I wold also suggest that his super natural power is highly subjective and has little visual appeal because it occurs mostly inside the characters minds. Also his power is a heightened function of most psychiatrists weather they achieve it via medication or other treatment. Essentially the logline is suggesting an inciting incident of the MC waking up one day being better at his job.
I don’t find this as much of an inciting event as it should be and I don’t see how this event directly motivates him to achieve his goal of helping the woman. He would have tried to help the woman regardless getting this power.
Is there a visually clear event that happens to the MC which directly forces him to save the woman?
If so best to use that as the inciting incident.
Hope this helps.

I don't know the whole notion of a fabricated second US civil war sounds convoluted and an un necessary complication that requires too much explaining in order for it to work as merely the setting.
