Mountain Ranger Breck Beats Back Fire Fight
Breck tailors a bold rescue as cowpunchers rally against a coordinated raid and wildfire. He captures a Brown outfit rider, orders the line west of Black Mountain, and pursues a looming Potholes blaze with Donny’s lookout reports guiding the way. Breck arrives at the nesters, finds Weller slow to mobilize, and prepares to mount a crew to fight the fire.
