Wikipedia:
Interested in scientific forestry, Andrews after the war worked
to stir public sentiment for responsible logging and forest
practices, but without much success until the Great Hinckley Fire
of 1894 burned several towns in east-central Minnesota, garnering
widespread public attention. He maintained that proper forestry
would renew the state's ravaged timberlands and make them fire
resistant. Eventually, leading foresters and companies began to
implement Andrews' ideas and practices. He was Minnesota state
Forestry Commissioner when the Baudette Fire of 1910 burned,
further strengthening his argument for regulation of forestry.
