The Mann Gulch fire was a wildfire reported on August 5, 1949, in a gulch located along the upper Missouri River in the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness (then known as the Gates of the Mountains Wild Area), Helena National Forest, in the U.S. state of Montana. A team of 15 smokejumpers parachuted into the area on the afternoon of August 5, 1949, to fight the fire, rendezvousing with a former smokejumper who was employed as a fire guard at the nearby campground. As the team approached the fire to begin fighting it, unexpected high winds caused the fire to suddenly expand, cutting off the men's route and forcing them back uphill. During the next few minutes, a "blow-up" of the fire covered 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) in ten minutes, claiming the lives of 13 firefighters, including 12 of the smok

  • The Mann Gulch fire was a wildfire reported on August 5, 1949, in a gulch located along the upper Missouri River in the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness (then known as the Gates of the Mountains Wild Area), Helena National Forest, in the U.S. state of Montana. A team of 15 smokejumpers parachuted into the area on the afternoon of August 5, 1949, to fight the fire, rendezvousing with a former smokejumper who was employed as a fire guard at the nearby campground. As the team approached the fire to begin fighting it, unexpected high winds caused the fire to suddenly expand, cutting off the men's route and forcing them back uphill. During the next few minutes, a "blow-up" of the fire covered 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) in ten minutes, claiming the lives of 13 firefighters, including 12 of the smokejumpers. Only three of the smokejumpers survived. The fire would continue for five more days before being controlled. The United States Forest Service drew lessons from the tragedy of the Mann Gulch fire by designing new training techniques and safety measures that developed how the agency approached wildfire suppression. The agency also increased emphasis on fire research and the science of fire behavior. University of Chicago English professor and author Norman Maclean (1902–1990) researched the fire and its behavior for his book, Young Men and Fire (1992) which was published after his death. Maclean, who worked northwestern Montana in logging camps and for the Forest Service in his youth, recounted the events of the fire and ensuing tragedy and undertook a detailed investigation of the fire's causes. Young Men and Fire won the National Book Critics Circle Award for non-fiction in 1992. The 1952 film Red Skies of Montana, starring actor Richard Widmark and directed by Joseph M. Newman, was loosely based on the events of the Mann Gulch fire. The location of the Mann Gulch fire was included as a historical district on the United States National Register of Historic Places on May 19, 1999. A sign is placed near Mann Gulch to memorialize the tragedy, and can be seen from the waters of the nearby Missouri River. (en)
  • L'incendie de Mann Gulch est un (wildfire) signalé le 5 août 1949 dans un ravin (gulch) situé le long de la partie supérieure de la rivière Missouri dans le (alors connu sous le nom de Gates of the Mountains Wild Area), dans la forêt nationale d'Helena, dans l'État du Montana aux États-Unis. Une équipe de 15 smokejumpers (pompiers parachutistes) parachuta dans la zone l'après-midi du 5 août 1949 pour lutter contre l'incendie, retrouvant avec un ancien smokejumper qui était employé comme fire guard au terrain de camping voisin. Alors que l'équipe s'approchait du feu pour commencer à le combattre, des vents violents inattendus firent que le feu soudainement s'étendit, coupant la route des hommes et les forçant à remonter la pente. Au cours des quelques minutes suivantes, une reprise violente de feu (anglais : blow up) de l'incendie couvrit 3 000 acres (1 214 hectares) en dix minutes, coûtant la vie à 13 pompiers, dont 12 des smokejumpers. Seuls trois des smokejumpers survécurent. Le feu continuera pendant cinq jours avant d'être maîtrisé. Le Service des forêts des États-Unis tira les leçons de la tragédie de l'incendie de Mann Gulch en concevant de nouvelles techniques de formation et des mesures de sécurité qui développèrent la façon dont l'agence aborda par la suite la suppression des feux de friches. L'agence met également davantage l'accent sur la recherche sur le feu et la science du comportement du feu. (fr)
