Forest Fire Rages in Hills Near Southside
A spectacular forest fire burned through hill country behind Southside from Saturday into Sunday night, threatening Harmony Baptist Church parsonage. Led by Paul Wogan, the blaze, likely from the government soil conservation reserve, burned hundreds of acres toward the Kanawha River with timber damage possible. Firefighters requested aid but the initial call was declined due to equipment unsuitability for hillside fire. A rain slowed progress, but high winds kept it out of control.
