Fire consumes Frontier
From the April 30, 1976
edition of the Spilyay Tymoo.
Fire destroyed the Frontier
Tavern and Rainbow Market.
The incident began shortly
past 6 p.m. on the evening of
Wednesday, April 21, 1976.
By 6:26 p.m., when the
Warm Springs Fire Depart
ment received a call for assis
tance, smoke was already pour
ing out of the tavern.
One truck and four men
were assembled and sent to the
scene. Meanwhile, North Unit
Fire Department in Madras
was rallying men and equip
ment, and help from Kah-Nee-Ta
was on the way.
Despite the efforts of many,
the fire burned through the
night and destroyed all but
some important records and
ammunition.

of owner Bob Mclnturff, had
