Rain Ends Langruth Bush Fire Crisis as Flooded Meadows Halt Drought
Langruth district sees welcome Sunday rain ending days of extensive bush and pasture fires. Dozens of helicopters?

A second fire damaged Rev. H. G. Cope’s home at Aircole. Fire threats from Amaron winds eased, though hay meadows lie scorched pending further rains.
