Dude Creek is so named because a fellow named Frank McClintock who once settled there was thought by old-timers to be something of a city dude, not familiar with the wilderness under the Mogollon Rim.  On Monday, June 25, 1990, lighting struck near the creek, starting a massive forest fire called the Dude Fire. Six firefighters lost their lives fighting the fire, which destroyed 63 houses in its path.  This is the story of what happened and how all were affected.
