Why Foresters Prefer to Fight Fire With Fire Why Foresters Prefer to Fight Fire With Fire After the Big Burn, in 1910. Fires aren't always as bad as they look, forest experts say. EATTLE -- Exactly ninety years ago, on Aug. 20, 1910, in the choking heat of a summer without rain in the northern Rockies, the sun disappeared from the sky and a sound not unlike cannon fire began rattling throughout Montana and Idaho. The Big Burn, as the 3-million-acre firestorm of 1910 was called, eventually consumed entire towns, killed 87 people and burned a lesson into the fledgling U.S. Forest Service.
