Capturing The Drama

US Forest Service 2008 Fire Siege Report

2008, A Year Ablaze

2008 was a year of fire in California. Over 1,750 state-
wide fires burned more than 1.2 million acres and
claimed the lives of 13 firefighters. The U.S. Forest
Service engaged KS partners to tell their story,
unique in California’s modern fire fighting history.

Our approach focused on balancing vast amounts
of data with a wealth of compelling imagery in this
150+ page document. Working within the Forest
Service brand standards, KS partners developed
an in-depth and engaging narrative of 365 days
spent battling some of the worst forest fires
California has ever seen.
