Type: Unpublished Work
Author(s): Roger R. Robinson
Publication Date: 1948

A fascinating compilation of materials on the 421,000-acre Kenai wildfire of the summer of 1947 by Roger Robinson, who at that time led the fledgling territorial Alaskan Fire Control Service as Regional Forester.  His collected materials (in response to a request from the Corps of Engineers) include accounts, news articles and fire report and also references other million-acre fires in the 1940’s and allusion to extensive 1923 fires which created many of the spruce stands around Fairbanks today.
