5.0 out of 5 stars Gift for My Father, December 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Monster Fire at Minong: Wisconsin's Five Mile Tower Fire of 1977 (Paperback)
I bought this book for my Dad. He is now a retired Forester Ranger who was on this fire and if I remember right was quoted in the book.

Must read for any Forester Ranger, US Forest Service fire fighter, or city fire department that can be called out to wild land fires.

This review is from: Monster Fire at Minong: Wisconsin's Five Mile Tower Fire of 1977 (Paperback)
Reads like a well-told story. Tells the story of a fire in northern Wisconsin that changed the face of fire-fighting. If you live - or have a cabin on a lake - in the pine-covered woods of any midwestern state, you'll find the story captivating!
