Jordan. The fire broke out Monday after noon, directly east of Draper, and soon became dangerous to roads, water shacks, and fire fighters. The fire was reported under control Wednesday. Flames Under Control n raper Foothills A stubborn brush fire east of Draper was apparently under control Wednesday as fire fighters battled the flames leaping over a large area of Mt. Jordan. The fire, which began blazing Monday afternoon, was "definsaid Mr itely So-te- r, fire control officer. Offici- als were investigating a report that a jeep with two men in it raced away from the scene soon after the fire broke out. Beginning with small wisps of smoke, only slightly visible from parts of the valley, the fire soon grew into large flames that leaped across more than 200 The acres of mountainside. flames were "whipped up" by swift and changing winds. A crew of about 60 men, including 35 trustees from Utah State Prison, stayed to fight the flames all Monday night. They tried to build a control line around the fire working mainly with shovels and other hand tools. Increasing winda Monday fanned the grass and brush fire into new fury just when it appeared the firefigh-tcr- s had it under control. The new outbreak called for two Salt Lake County fire companies that had been released earlier to return to the area about 7 p.m. The blaze destroyed about 200 acres of watershed land, plus a small water shed owned by the Rivcrton Pipe Line Co. Draper residents were requested to fill buckets of water as the flames threatened the town's source. Converted Navy torpedo bombers were in use Monday and Tuesday dropping bentonite. a chemical, on the flames. A helicopter proved useful in transporting experienced fire fighters up the steep mountain slopes. Two Salt Lake County communities may suffer a water shortage as ill effects from the fire that burned on both sides of Bear Canyon and spread to the south of Cherry Canyon, and then worked halfway up the side of Mt. Jordan. Small wisps of smoke and the charred black hills were all that was left to be seen of the once dangerous fire. The dreaded winds which could fan more flames have died down and only a few fire fighters remain to watch over the charred hills. Another fast burning brush fire, spread by gusts of wind, consumed more than 500 acres afterof scrub oak Saturday noon in Butterfield Canyon just south of Lark. Fire crews from four different Salt Lake County stations, firemen, more than 100 Lark and Herriman volunteers, two converted Navy torpedo bombers dropping bctonite, and two bulldozers from Kennecott Copper Corp. arrived at the scene to combat the flames. The grass fire broke out on the west side of Butterfield Canyon, two mile south of Lark Friday afternoon and quickly spread west and south into Gulch.
