The fire originated in the Umatilla National Forest in southeastern Washington, in Columbia and Garfield Counties. The School Fire was detected from space by NASA's Terra satellite.[1] The fire burned around {{convert|51892.13|acre|sqmi ha|sigfig=4}},[2] destroying over 100 houses and 100 outbuildings. The largest wildfire of 2005 in the contiguous United States, the School Fire's smoke was seen as far away as Walla Walla. Its total damage was estimated at $15 million.[3] Origin and spreadThe School Fire started on August 5, 2005 when a dead pine tree struck a power line, igniting dry grass.[3] The fire "blew up" due to the combination of dry grass and high winds.[3] On August 6, the fire spread from 170 to 30,000 acres.[6] Its spread was rapid enough that 1600 firefighters were fighting it on the its fourth day.[3] One firefighter was hurt and required treatment at a hospital, but there were no fatalaties.[3] The fire was declared contained on August 19, although restrictions on roads in the fire area were maintained until October 8.[3][10] AftermathThe School Fire burned over 51,000 acres, 28,000 of which was in the Umatilla National Forest.[4] The Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation team of the US Forrest Service cleared dangerous trees from the land of the National Forrest.[4] The fire damaged enough property and was large enough for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to authorize use of federal funds to fight the fire.[5] FEMA spent $3,986,571.64 in Public Assistance as a direct result of the fire.[5] The fire was the largest in the contiguous 48 states during the summer 2005 fire season.[3] See also
