1985 Butte Fire Staff Ride
It is the afternoon of Aug. 29, 1985. You are on Division A located in heavy timber on the north end of the Butte Fire on the Salmon National Forest in central Idaho. This fire is part of the Long Tom Complex.
At approximately 1550, the fire makes a sudden high-intensity crown run up Wallace Creek, a side drainage of Salmon River Canyon. Over the next 90 minutes, this run will consume 3,500 acres.
