The Mann Gulch Fire Tragedy. Helena National Forest.

When a fire broke out in Helena National Forest, the newly established Smokejumpers crew was sent to manage it. The fire proved to be larger and more dangerous than anyone could have predicted and when the winds changed, these men found themselves fighting for their lives. Many lives were lost and to this day it remains as one of the worst tragedies in wild land history.
