Two Forest Fires Burn Eight Hours in Maryland
Two forest fires burned for about eight hours Wednesday in Maryland. One fire in South Mountain near Boonsboro was surrounded by CCC crews and district warden William G. Renner reported it under control with no property damage. The Monocacy river fire near the Sugar Loaf foot burned about 18 acres five miles southeast of Buckeystown and smoldered overnight with a strong odor of burning undergrowth. The South Mountain blaze may have been incendiary, prompting Renner to begin an investigation.
