No amount of money, equipment, or firefighters could stop the hurricane of fire that raged out of control on august 20 and 21st, 1910. The big blowup would be the catalyst of Fire Suppression for the next 100 years. On august 20, a terrific hurricane broke over the mountains. It picked up the fires and carried them for miles. The wind was so strong that it almost lifted men out of their saddles and the canyon seemed to act as chimneys through which the wind and fires swept like the roar of a thousand freight trains.
