On August 18, 1937, a lightning strike started the Blackwater Fire in Shoshone National Forest, approximately 35 miles (56 km) west of Cody, Wyoming, United States. Fifteen firefighters were killed by the forest fire when a dry weather front caused the winds to suddenly increase and change direction. The fire quickly spread into dense forest, creating spot fires that trapped some of the firefighters in a firestorm. Nine firefighters died during the fire and six more died shortly thereafter from severe burns and respiratory complications. Another 38 firefighters were injured. The fire killed more professional wildland firefighters in the U.S. than any other in the 103 years between the Great Fire of 1910 and the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013.

  • Das Blackwater Fire war ein am 18. August 1937 durch Blitzschlag ausgelöster Waldbrand im nördlichen Shoshone National Forest im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Das Feuer breitete sich aufgrund heißer Temperaturen und starker Winde schnell aus und erfasste 690 ha Wald an den Westhängen des Clayton Mountain in der Absaroka Range. Bei der Bekämpfung des Feuers kamen insgesamt 15 Feuerwehrleute ums Leben, mehr als bei jedem anderen Waldbrand in den 103 Jahren zwischen dem Großen Brand von 1910 und dem Yarnell Hill Fire 2013.

  • Le 18 août 1937, la foudre a déclenché l’incendie de Blackwater dans la forêt nationale de Shoshone, à environ 56 kilomètres à l'ouest de Cody dans le Wyoming, aux États-Unis. Quinze pompiers ont été tués par le feu de forêt quand un front de sécheresse a provoqué une augmentation soudaine des vents avec des changements de direction. Le feu s'est rapidement propagé dans la forêt dense, piégeant certains des pompiers. Neuf pompiers sont morts lors de l'incendie et six autres sont morts peu de temps après de graves brûlures et des complications respiratoires et 38 pompiers ont été blessés. Plus de pompiers ont été tués dans l'incendie de Blackwater que dans n'importe quel autre incendie dans une United States National Forest entre le et l' de 2013. (fr)
  • 1937年8月18日,一道闪电击中了美国肖松尼国家森林,引发了一场后来被称为“1937年布莱克沃特大火”(英語:Blackwater Fire of 1937)的火灾。火灾现场位处怀俄明州科迪市以西约35英里(56公里)处。此次大火中,山火因干燥锋面的缘故突然增强并改变方向,导致15名消防员先后遇难——火势迅速向茂密的森林中蔓延,致使部分消防员被困在火灾旋风中,9名消防员在大火中罹难,6名消防员事后因严重烧伤和呼吸道并发症死亡,另有38名消防员受伤。此次火灾事故是1910年大火至2013年亞奈爾山火之间的103年里,美国国家森林大火中消防员死亡人数最多的一次。 克莱顿山西坡上,有一片花旗松构成的1,700英畝(690公頃)的原始森林,布莱克沃特大火将这片森林燃烧殆尽。火灾发生时,温度将近90 °F(32 °C),但相对湿度只有6%。参与救援行动的大部分的消防员都是平民保育團的员工,由经验较为丰富的美国国家森林局负责指挥。20世纪上半叶,消防员扑灭野火的工具大都只能徒手使用,而且全都得靠动物驮运。天气预报系统准确度极差,无线电交流也很困难,几乎等同于虚设。 (zh)
