Chisholm Fire Devastates Minnesota Town and Losses
In Chisholm Minnesota the firestorm of a dry year swept through town driven by northwest winds. Firefighters fear total losses between five and ten million dollars with a conservative estimate around five million. No lives were lost though much property and stores were damaged, and revival is already underway with fifty new shops and homes rising. The event underscores the fragility of peat beds and the need for fuel protection measures.
