Forest Fires
Continue in Alaska
Extremely dry conditions are
blamed for the numerous forest
fires burning in the territory.
Many of the fires have and are
consuming thousands of acres of
timber.
Forester Michael Leach of the
Palmer Fire Guard station today
pointed out that the rain which
fell Tuesday night was too scat
tered to have made much impres
sion on the dry conditions. He
asked that land owners hold off
burning stump and brush rows
until conditions better them
selves. “With only two men left
here at this station, it doesn’t take
long to have our equipment and
personnel tied up on fires”, he
said. Fire Guard Gene Horning
was sent to Glenallen to cover
that station while the Glenallen
personnel are out fighting fires
in that section of Alaska.
A fire in the Huston area Mon
day night consumed between 10
dnrt 12 acres of timber Leaci
said. Thirteen fire fighters were
put out on that fire which is
believed to have been started
by a cigarette or campfire.
