It was august 1910, in the American west. The worst wildfire in U.S. history, called the Big Burn, was roaring toward Ed Pulaski and his crew of firefighters. The intense heat cooked fish alive in the rivers, and rocks exploded around them. Surrounded by flames and with nowhere to run, many of Pulaski's men thought they would soon be dead.
The firefighters were trying to stop one of nature's most powerful forces. Forests in the American West go through natural cycles of fire and re-growth. A wildfire burns away old trees, clearing space for new ones. certain types of trees cannot reproduce without fire. Their seeds are released only when intense heat melts the covering around them.
