Oregon Wildland Firefighting
Oregon Wildland Firefighting: A History | Sean Davis
1 post | 1 read
Over the past century, some of the world's largest wildland fires have occurred in Oregon. Accidentally set by a disgruntled cook on an English ship, the Great Fire of 1845 displaced multiple tribes and boiled wildlife alive in the Columbia River. The Tillamook Burn started up every 6 years from 1933 to 1951 and incited one of the largest reseeding efforts in the world with 72 million seedlings planted. The Long Draw Fire of 2012, the state's largest in more than 150 years, started as a small spark and raged into an ocean of flames thousands of acres wide in a matter of hours. Veteran wildland firefighter Sean Davis shares harrowing firsthand accounts that illustrate what it takes to battle an inferno.

Oh friends. This book is so bad and it hasn‘t been reviewed anywhere yet. Let‘s just say the autocorrect errors start on the first page and set the tone for what seems to be an unedited book that no one fact checked (because it‘s filled with incorrect information). There‘s also very little history. There are some great photos from the 1930s.
