Over 30 years after the entrapment and shelter deployments on the Butte Fire, a group of those who were there went back to that fireground with a group of students to walk through the events and their lessons learned on that day. After the site visit, the entire group discussed the experience, including their takeaways to carry forward.
The Butte Fire entrapment occurred on the Salmon-Challis National Forest, Idaho, on August 29, 1985. For more information, please visit: lessons.wildfire.gov/incident...
