Grouse Creek Idaho forest fire doubles in area to 10000 acres
MISSOULA May 19 Associated Press. The Grouse Creek blaze broke out on Humbird Logging slashings northeast of Sand Point Idaho and has doubled in area to about 10000 acres in two days. It has burned 1000 acres of national forest and more than 9000 acres of private timber as crews struggle to check it. Reinforcements race to the fire near Pend d Oreille while other fires burn near the Canadian border Naples and Priest Lake as dry conditions and wind hinder containment. Fifty four men fight the Priest Lake blaze sparked by an electric storm.
