100 Fires Project Treasure Hunt

The folks at Western Fire Resources have put together a 100 Fires Project Treasure Hunt challenge to help increase awareness for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. This Treasure Hunt is a fun, yet difficult, quest that encourages the study of our wildfire history.

The intent of the Treasure Hunt is for wildfire units (crews, engines, departments, companies) to spend time researching, debating, and learning from the most influential fires in our history which are found within the 100 Fires Project timeline.

This is a chance to put your team’s learning culture to work. The treasure hunt contains 3 challenges.  Units that complete each challenge will be recognized by the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. The first unit to complete all 3 challenges and provide us with the final answer will have their name forever etched in history as the winners of the inaugural 100 Fires Project Treasure Hunt and receive a prize for the unit to always treasure.
The rules are simple. Work together within your local unit to figure out the clues in the poems on the instructions page. From there, you will have to complete 2 more challenges to come up with a final question, the answer to which wins the treasure hunt. Any unit from any agency, department or contract company may compete for the bragging rights for being the first to find the answer. The clues you will need are typically going to be hidden in plain sight, so consider every word appearing on this and its linked pages. Good luck!
