Fire devastates Beulah Township as winds fuel spread
A wildfire sparked by a mischievous act by John Schmidt’s son ravaged Beulah township, fanned by strong winds and threatening towns near Ethan. Firefighters and locals battled the blaze along Milwaukee tracks at Orswell tree claim and beyond, saving farms including the Urban and Ball properties while many homes and outbuildings suffered heavy losses. Mayor Welch ordered residents to avoid wood fuels as volunteers and town workers fought the inferno into the night.
