Three Fire-Fighting Camps Established Near Butte
Three camps are now in operation to combat a large forest fire east of Butte. No. 1 camp led by J W Steele near the McAllister ranch, camp 2 about a mile south of Corry properties led by Ranger J J Maxwell, and camp 3 on the east bank of Del Lake under George Grigg. About 70 men are already at work with nearby ranchers volunteering. The lake camp forms a natural fire barrier, crews are positioned on three sides, a line has been drawn around the fire, and rangers expect control soon.
