Hunt Attends Convention Lehi Fire Crew Fights Point of Mountain Blaze A grass fire at the Point of the Mountain, which neighboring grain fields, was threatened brought under control last Wednesday and Thursday, largely through the efforts of the Lehi Fire Crew. The blaze, for which no definite cause could be ascertained, spread over an area of several hundred acres, according to ,.y 7 Captain Ned Wilson. , Shovel Work The trip to the fire was made in the fire trucks, but the actual work was done by the men with shovels, the work continuing until past 10:30 p.m. Two jeeps from the armory aided in the climb to the top of the mountain. Approaching from the opposite side required an hour's climb on foot. ' Utah County Fire Warden Daryl Stanley was called and he took over control of the fire fighting operations. Heavy equipment was brought and a fire break thrown up by cutting a trail through the heavy oak brush. Caling off activities on Wednesday night, the warden returned to the scene at 4 a.m. Thursday, assisted by a crew of eight men from Lehi, Prpvo and .adjacent towns. At 3:30 p.m. the wind blew sparks which spread the fire beyond the fire line. County, equipment was brought in to cut down the brush and make a break. Warden Stanley and a crew spent some time on Friday routing the blaze. Glass Bottles Only Evidence of Cause Two glass beverage bottles found on the mountain top were named as the possible cause by attracting the hot rays of the sun into the dry grass. -- 24-2- 5.
