Hope Held To Control Tonto Fire
Firefighting teams pressed to contain two large blazes on the Tonto National Forest. The Pranty fire near Roosevelt Dam had burned 11 000 acres with possible late-day containment, while the Boulder Mountain fire near Sunflower had consumed over 23 000 acres. Estimated watershed damage reached 850 000 dollars, plus 150 000 more spent on wind driven flames. Wind shifts remained the main obstacle as about 1 200 skilled firefighters, mostly Native American, and specialists from six states fought the fires.
