Great Fire of 1910, Wildfire in the United States/Canada

The Great Fire of 1910, also known as the Big Burn, scorched about 3 million acres.

The firestorm occurred in August 1910 and is one of the largest fires in recorded history.

Its devastating effects led to major changes in forest management and firefighting techniques.

Visitors can explore the affected regions in Idaho, Montana, Washington, and British Columbia.

The rapid spread of the fire was due to a combination of drought, high winds, and lightning.
