December 8, 2006. page 64 "However, the nation was simultaneously faced with its largest firefighting mobilization in history as numerous fires threatened a crown jewel of the National Park Service; Yellowstone Park. Resources were slow in arriving. The six individual fires quickly grew and burned together within a few days."
