Encyclopedia > Ed Pulaski

Ed Pulaski was a United States Forest Service ranger in Wallace, Idaho. In August 1910 he was credited with saving his crew of 45 men when a fire they were attempting to fight broke out of control. Drawing on his knowledge of the area and of the dynamics of forest fires, Pulaski led his crew to safety in the abandoned mine.


Ed Pulaski is widely credited for the invention of the pulaski in 1911, a hand tool used in wildland firefighting.
