NOTE: This needs to be significantly redone if I work this up further. See the work-up in SMA where I found a slightly better location, which altered much below. In particular, the Canlunar is no longer dormant.

August 18-24, 1937, in Shosone National Forest near Cody, WY. The fire was started by lightning August 18 but only detected "early August 20" (I'll use 0:00). The 15 firefighters killed was more than in any other in a United States National Forest since 1910. - August 20, 1937, 0:00, Cody, WY.
