In this episode of "Catastrophe Chronicles," hosts Katie Babbick and Arin Babbick delve into the harrowing tale of the Great Fire of 1910. This massive wildfire consumed over 3 million acres across the Northern Rockies, reducing entire towns to ashes and putting the U.S. Forest Service to a grueling test. Despite operating with limited resources and congressional promises instead of funds, brave rangers and civilian volunteers battled the unrelenting flames.
Join us as we explore the perfect storm of politics, fire, and sheer determination that shaped this legendary disaster. Learn about the individuals who risked their lives, including key figures like Gifford Pinchot and Teddy Roosevelt, whose conservation efforts laid the groundwork for what would become the National Park Service. Grab your gear and water bucket - it's time to delve into the fiery chaos of 1910 and the legacy it left behind.
