Dollar Mountain Fire

1929 wildfire in Washington, U.S.

The Dollar Mountain Fire was one of the earliest large scale wildfires in Ferry County, Washington, United States. Starting on August 4, 1929, and burning an estimated 98,000–142,000 acres (400–570 km2) of Colville National Forest land in the Kettle River Range, east of Republic, Washington, the conflagration was contained by mid-September, but only finally extinguished due to weather changes late in the year.
