About this title

Synopsis

Many people still recall October 1947, when Maine experienced the worst fire disaster in its history. Wildfire Loose is the definitive history of those terrible and exciting days. This 50th anniversary edition includes text and photos not previously published.

If this were fiction it would be a great yarn, (but) the tragedy is all true.

Wildfire Loose deserves the highest marks for research, for balance, for writing, and for readability.
