History of the Fire Lookouts in Northwest Montana

Sunday, January 15, 2023 (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (MST)

Description

Grisak's talk will cover fire suppression efforts and events starting with the Big Burn of 1910, which consumed 3 million acres and 87 lives, prompting creation of the lookout system. In Northwest Montana, with its predominant logging industry, such measures were critical to the economy and livelihoods of the area. “It’s one thing to learn about the number of acres burned,” she says, “and another to learn the personal stories.”
