Trapped in the Firestorm | The True Survival Story of the 1910 Big Burn

On August 20, 1910, hurricane-force winds swept across the drought-stricken forests of Idaho and Montana, merging hundreds of separate wildfires into a colossal firestorm known as the Big Blowup. In less than thirty-six hours, three million acres of virgin timber burned to the ground, trapping dozens of towns and firefighting crews in a wall of flame hundreds of feet high. Experience this full-length historical survival audiobook detailing one of the most dramatic wildfire rescues in American history. Cut off by towering walls of fire in a remote mountain canyon, discover how forty-year-old forest ranger Ed Pulaski led forty-five terrified men through a hail of falling burning trees into an abandoned silver mine shaft, held his crew together at gunpoint in the suffocating smoke, and saved forty lives from the greatest forest fire in national history. Settle in, put on your headphones, and witness an unforgettable true story of leadership, courage, and human endurance against an ocean of fire.
