"Then, in 1936, an outbreak of fires hit communities and forests with
equal destructiveness. The most famous of the 1936 fires was a wildfire
that burned the coastal city of Bandon and killed 11 people. “Carried by
an east wind of gale-like force, a forest fire swept into the town of
Bandon late on the evening of September 26, practically wiping out the
town and resulting in the death of 11 persons,” said an article in The
Forest Log, the Oregon Department of Forestry’s newsletter."
