Event Details
This is a panel discussion by the Higgins Ridge Fire survivors. The Higgins Ridge Fire 1961 incident in which 20 smokejumpers were trapped in an explosive fire but were all rescued by a helicopter pilot from Johnson Aviation. This is an amazing story which has virtually been hidden from history. The Museum has 11 of the remaining 13 smokejumpers, and tentatively the pilot, coming to Missoula to document and share their experience. We will be conducting individual oral histories on June 27 and 28. The public panel discussion will take place at 3:00 pm at the Museum site on June 29.
If you would be interested in volunteering for this event, please contact me directly.
