Camas Creek Fire Medical Emergency Fatality 1929

John F. Martin was assigned to the Camas Creek Fire on the Chelan National Forest, Washington, when he suddenly collapsed and died on the fire on August 24. An autopsy determined the cause of death was pulmonary infarction, or the blockage of blood supply to the lung. His death was coincidentally on the same day as the discovery of the bodies of Ernani St. Luise and Douglas Ingram on the same fire. The Chelan National Forest is now the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
