Shee-ly, Shee-ly, is making what will probably be his final ini'.pection for 1934 on oui high mountain Forest roads. At the same time, he looked over the Gooseberry Dam, the Cleveland Reservoir-Huntingtom Read and the Skyline Road from Alpine to Clay Springs. More Firen We are beginning to wonder when we will have an end to the fire sea son. On October 2nd, one of the Army Officers from the Reclamati:r:, Service CCC Camp reported a fire to the south and east of the Camp. Ranger Jorgennon was put cn the trail; he went up on a timber sale-area sale-area on the Wagon Road Ridge where the fire was burning. It was due to the failure of a timber oper, ator to put out his fire after burning burn-ing brush during ,the recent snowstorm. snow-storm. The Officers of the CCC Camp also cooperated splendidly by furnishing sufficient men so that the fire was placed under control before 10 P. M. The following morning, Ranger Thursby took charge of the situation and we are hoping that a storm will rcon or- rive; otherwise, we will go into th.' winer under a very high hazzard. It scem.3 impossible to put out fires where everything is jot dry. Ranger Thursby reports that the men working on a trail in the South Fork of Birch Creek found places where the fire is still alive from the July 7 fire In that section. If we can get people to be a little careful where they make fires, and to see that they are out before they leave, we may perhaps get by. However, ithe deer season opens on October 20th, and last year we had several fires started by hunters so that every Officer will have to keep a close lookout or we aire going to have fires before the season closes. |
