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”...
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.
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.
