Forest Fire Under Control in Blair's Valley Area
Blair's Valley wardens battled a mountain fire after seven p.m. as four fires spread from the start site. Backfiring on Heartstone Mountain and a wind shift helped contain the blaze, with one section crossing into Pennsylvania and others limited by prior logging. Warden Clopper noted limited walkable timber, possible incindiary origins in spring, and ongoing lookout coordination atop the Punch bowl. Passenger routes show only 93,400 miles of U S highways surfaced with concrete.
