The 2000-2002 Forest Fires in the Western United States (Tragic Fires Throughout History)

In the years between 2 and 22, forest fires ripped through much of the American West, with millions of acres of forest destroyed. This book recounts the story of those 2-22 fires, providing an in-depth look at the making of forest fires, how they start, and how they benefit the forests. It also examines the changing forest fire policy and uses fascinating quotes from a forest worker who describes, in first-hand accounts, the harrowing work conducted by the forest fighters throughout the Western United States.
