The Great Fire
of 1910 Get Together
The Great Fire of 1910 (also commonly referred to as the Big
Blowup
or the Big Burn) was a wildfire which burned about three million
acres
(12,000 km², approximately the size of Connecticut) in northeast
Washington,
northern Idaho (the panhandle), and western Montana. The area
burned
included parts of the Bitterroot, Cabinet, Clearwater, Coeur
d'Alene, Flathead,
Kaniksu, Kootenai, Lewis and Clark, Lolo, and St. Joe national
forests. The
firestorm burned over two days (August 20–21, 1910), and
killed 87 people,
including 78 firefighters. It is believed to be the largest,
although not
the deadliest, fire in recorded U.S. history.
