a runner was sent into
woods with orders to

going slow and meanwhile a
suffocating east wind sucked
the last remaining moisture
from the needles of the fir
trees. The humidity residing was
20 percent.
A crew sensing danger pre

cutting only one more log. The
trickle of smoke rose from the
dry stump and the fire call
rang through the woods. The
entire crew seized the tools
and rushed to the scene.
They worked frantically but
freakish wind caught the
burning brands and carried
them into adjoining slash. The
fire spread with explosive
force.
During the next 11 days the
largest and most destructive
fire in Oregon since the Coos

The men fought to trench and
hold the fire with the help of
loggers, CCCs and volunteers

40.000 acres.
Then came August 24. The
fire "blew up" and 270,000
acres of forest went up in
smoke.
Trees 400 years old were
engulfed in the inferno of heat.
Smoke reached the height of
40,000 feet during the peak of
