Indiana forest fire losses rise past decade total
Indiana faced record forest losses this year with timber destroyed valued at 1,000,000 or more, surpassing combined losses of the previous ten years. W H Freeman, secretary of the State Board of Forestry, cites the Kankakee region and southern Indiana knobs as hardest hit.
