Yes, NH has hundreds of wildfires every year - mostly small.

Some of the largest wildfires in state history were in the 1940s, some fueled by debris left by the 1938 hurricane.

The worst fire seasons were 1941 (27,000 acres in Marlowe/Stoddard) and 1947 when 20,000 acres burned, starting in Sunapee, NH.

A network of fire lookout towers was created in the early 1900s and staffed during periods of high fire risk, hoping to detect fires earlier. Only 16 of them remain in use after 1992.
