Big Blowup of 1910, also called Big Burn, devastating forest fire that torched 3 million acres (1.2 million hectares) in western Montana and northern Idaho during Aug. 20–23, 1910. Of the fire’s 85 victims, 78 were firefighters.

Huh, I wonder if they had chicken littles back then, screaming 'Climate change', I doubt it, most probably said it was a hot dry summer, and the weather ebbs and flows.
I recently read the book The Big Burn, by Timothy Egan. Good account of that event.
Although fewer in number (less man made starts) Forest fires burned many more total acres 100 years ago then now
Of course the global climate change cult and the media don’t tell you that
Large Fires naturally burnt away the fuel every so often. Now fire fighting efforts may cause fuel to build up over many decades in some areas and when there are fires they can be more intense and spread faster
The last 2 CA fire seasons have been tame
Of course the media a only hypes when there are big fires and doesn’t point out tame fire seasons
See my tag line
That’s impossible. Somebody will ‘fact-check’ that story.
Forest fires only occur due to climate change and in the 21st century.

Boy, those were the days.
When forest fires were from natural causes instead of the deep state starting them like in Maui. And in Paradise, California, where houses combusted separately from any surrounding trees.
Whatever technology they’re using to start these fires is really nasty stuff.
Doing a little research for a friend about Kentucky. The Ohio Flood of 1937 practically wiped out the Town of Greenup....where their family lived. I remember an old diary from about 1800 telling of “the raging Ohio in the Spring”...
I grew up in a town along the Ohio river, it wasn’t the river that did devastation, it was the creeks, especially Ivan 2004.
the dams changed a lot of things...
Every so often the Cincinnati Enquirer publishes pictures of the Cincinnati waterfront throughout history. Up until the 1950s, there were no buildings within 150 yards of the Ohio River. People knew that the Ohio River would flood every so often and they were not stupid enough to build their homes in a flood zone.
That’s 4687 square miles! Almost the size of Connecticut.

There’s a monument on I-94 in Idaho I believe.
I had a dream about that fire when I was 10 years old. It was decades before I heard about the actual fire on TV for the first time
Back then, they recruited firefighters out of the saloons.
They still did that in the 1970s, and might even now for all I know. One of my brothers told me of when he was logging near Oakridge, OR around 1974, and the Forest Service guys and a couple of sheriff's deputies would go around behind the bar to round up all the loggers who would run out the back as soon as one of the USFS guys went in the front door.
Seriously, however, stating the obvious just for the record: It is undeniably a 'tell' when climate alarmists use data recorded only since 1850 which is, in fact, when temperature records began (ironically right at the end of the Little Ice Age). Ignoring proxy data for historical climate records spanning millennia is decidedly anti-scientific.
I’ve lived in N. Idaho and NW Montana since 2010. There are still charred stumps to be found in old woods from that event.

Hells Canyon Idaho
Hells Canyon is a deep river gorge located along the border of eastern Oregon and western Idaho, and it is part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area managed by the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
This canyon is North America’s deepest river gorge, running deeper than the Grand Canyon, with a depth of 7,993 feet (2,436 m).
The canyon was carved by the Snake River, which flows more than one mile below the canyon’s west rim on the Oregon side and 7,400 feet below the peaks of Idaho’s Seven Devils Mountains to the east.
The Hells Canyon National Recreation Area encompasses 652,488 acres, including 214,000 acres of wilderness. It offers a variety of recreational activities such as whitewater rafting, jet boating, and fishing.
The area includes popular recreation sites like the Hells Canyon Wilderness, Black Lake, Heavens Gate Lookout, Windy Saddle, and Seven Devils recreation area.
There are three roads that lead to the Snake River within the canyon, and they are located between Hells Canyon Dam and the Oregon-Washington state line.
These roads are Hells Canyon Road, Deer Creek Road, and Forest Road 4260 (Lower Imnaha Road).
The canyon is also significant for its geologic history and the cultural heritage of the Nez Perce tribe, who have lived in the area for thousands of years.
