Mrs. H. L. Cain recalls Friday night when her 16 year old son Howard was critically burned while fighting a brush fire at Tal Habra Heights, a blaze that killed five. Howard had been at a county probation forestry camp in La Verne for about nine weeks and injured his back when a tree branch struck him during firefighting.
