History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 115310-09 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of forest firefighting dates back to the early 20th century when the US Forest Service was established in 1905. The first organized firefighting efforts began in 1910, after a massive wildfire known as the Big Blowup burned over three million acres of forest in Idaho and Montana. The US Forest Service then began to develop firefighting techniques and equipment, such as the use of airplanes to drop water and fire retardants. In recent history, the US Forest Service has continued to improve firefighting technology, including the use of satellite imagery to detect fires and the development of more advanced fire retardants. In 2020, the US Forest Service reported that they had responded to over 7,000 wildfires, which burned over 4 million acres of land. Forest firefighting has also been a global concern, with notable advancements in Australia, where the country has developed a national firefighting system that includes aerial firefighting and early warning systems. In 2019-2020, Australia experienced one of its worst wildfire seasons, with over 46 million acres of land burned and 34 people killed. The country's firefighting efforts were praised for their effectiveness in saving lives and property, despite the scale of the disaster.
