1910 Fire Commemoration Items

The Fires of 1910 were a pivotal event in western U.S. history, affecting thousands of people, millions of acres and shaping U.S. Forest Service policy for decades.

In 2010, we honored the lives lost, landscapes renewed and celebrated the resiliency of all those involved in this Northern Rockies watershed event. 

Photographs and Slide Show

Special events took place in the area throughout the spring and summer of 2010.  Museums across Idaho and Montana shared historical information on the Fires of 1910 and may still have exhibits on display.  Please visit our Events and Links page.
