On May 20-22, 2010, the
Inland Empire Society of American Foresters (SAF) conducted their annual meeting in Wallace, Idaho. If you've studied fire history, you know that 1910 was a catastrophic fire year. The Big Burn complex consumed approximately 3,000,000 across three northwest states. Ed Pulaski was among the survivors of that seige.
A century later, Jerry Williams, U.S. Forest Service, Retired,
wrote a paper posing the question of whether this event could happen again.
The 2010 Annual Fireline Safety Refresher - Century of Fire presented a module called "
The Fires of 1910."
