Great Fire of 1910

The Great Fire of 1910 (also commonly referred to as the Big Blowup, the Big Burn, or the Devil's Broom fire) was a wildfire that burned about , 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,〔Egan, Timothy. - "Ideas & Trends: Why Foresters Prefer to Fight Fire With Fire". - ''The New York Times''. - August 20, 2000.〕 mostly firefighters.〔(78 Firefighters, 8 civilians)〕〔(86 firefighters)〕
It is believed to be the largest, although not the deadliest, forest fire in U.S. history. The outcome was to highlight firefighters as public heroes while raising public awareness surrounding national nature conservation.
==Origin==
There were a great number of problems that contributed to the destruction caused by the Great Fire of 1910. The fire season started early that year, because the spring and summer of 1910 were extremely dry〔(Idaho Spring/Summer Precipitation ); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration〕 and the summer sufficiently hot to have been described as “like no others”. The drought resulted in forests that were teeming with dry fuel, which had previously grown up on abundant autumn and winter moisture.〔(Idaho Autumn/Winter Precipitation ); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration〕 Fires were set by hot cinders flung from locomotives, sparks, lightning, and backfiring crews, and by mid-August, there were 1,000 to 3,000 fires burning in Idaho, Montana, Washington, and British Columbia.〔
