In January, 2006 I compiled information about wildland fires over the last 150 years that are famous, or infamous, because of their size or because there were multiple fatalities. I researched and found the dates, not just the year, these fires occurred so that they could be listed in order by date of the year and posted onto a calendar.
By having these wildland fires on a calendar, the lessons learned from even a 150 year old fire will be less likely to be forgotten. An unforgotten lesson learned may save the life of a current or future firefighter.
The document has been updated many times and can be found on our Documents page.
