Beaverhead County Plans Self-Rufficient Forest Fire Defense
County Chairman W W Hawkins says Beaverhead plans a first class forest fire fighting organization by spring. With no CCC units and dwindling manpower, locals including ranchers and town workers will form a coordinated effort led by Forest Supervisor Willey to protect livestock industry from fires. They will set up lookout stations, contact groups, and mobilize reserve fighters as fire season nears. The Civilian Defense framework will be adapted to local needs to cope with emergencies.
