Watching the Bessie Butte Firestorm
Bessie Butte, Deschutes National Forest Wildland Fire

This is a view of the No. 18, Bessie Butte Wildfire which burned in mixed conifer and sagebrush about 3,800 acres. The photo depicts onlookers who were hypnotically drawn to the approaching fire and to the possible destruction of property 4 miles southeast of the Bend city limits. The fire (which did not destroy these homes) was contained on July 26th was human-caused. The Booth Fire (which burned concurrently) filled the Deschutes County area with dense smoke for weeks. On August 20, 2003 the burning fires became a Federally Declared Disaster in the Deschutes National Forest, near Sisters, Oregon. The 2003 Booth Fire ravaged over 60,000 acres of old growth forest by September 20th. This magnificent forest had withstood many smaller fires until this controversial catastrophe left its mark on the land.
