#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1910: A massive wildfire consumes roughly 3 million acres across three Northwestern states in 36 hours, killing 87 people. The Great Fire of 1910 spurred expansion of our national forests, but Trump wants to repeat the mistakes that led to this deadly blaze. /1
Early U.S. Forest Service firefighters head to the front lines of a massive wildfire during the Great Fire of 1910. Also known as the “Big Burn,” “Big Blowup” or “Devil’s Broom,” it remains one of the largest recorded wildfires in U.S. history. Firefighters of this era tackled fast-moving forest infernos using basic hand tools like shovels, crosscut saws and early axes. The immense destruction of the 1910 fire led the U.S. Forest Service to adapt aggressive fire-suppression strategies, including a policy to attempt to put out all fires by 10 a.m. the day after they were reported.
