 DYNAMICS OF A CASTASTROPHE:THE DECKER WILDFIRE OF 1959 The Decker Fire started on the Ortega Highway, three miles west of Lake Elsinore Village, southeast of Los Angeles, California. It was the result of an automobile accident which killed one person and critically burned another. This fire occurred in August of 1959, well before fire-resistant clothing and fire shelters were mandatory. None of the firefighters involved in this accident were equipped with either of those tools. Global Resource Room ABC [ Lunch and Learn Series Details ] |
