During the Great Fire of 1910, crews disembarking trains included a diverse group of laborers with little knowledge of the rugged northern Rockies and almost no firefighting experience. Many of their names are known, but many are unknown and their histories will never be recorded. All faced an unimaginable display of natural forces and conditions almost beyond belief, and for many it was their final moment. The Nine Mile Cemetery, one mile north of Wallace, is the final resting place of several victims of the fire, including 12 firefighters. A mile south of Wallace, the Pulaski Tunnel Trailhead leads along a two-mile course to a viewpoint across the creek from the historic Pulaski Tunnel, the abandoned mine where Big Ed Pulaski saved all but six of his 45-man firefighting crew.
