Recent fires are finally con
tained aad mop-up has begun,
or is nearly over. For over five,
weeks the %htning-caustd flies
have been burning
on the reservation.

W ith the, strong
Speaks
winds I have seen
lately I find it incred
ible that they were able t© con
tain them. Although the rains
early last week were helpful, it
was not am easy task to battle
this fire against winds that were
as strong as recent winds.
I I coaaamend ¡ all
thé
firefighters who traveled here
and worked daily at these fires,
also the fire camp crews who
did their jobs to support those
who were fighting the fires. ;
It was their knowledge and
experience that helped1, put the
fires òut. I am thinking that
fighting fire is not an easy job,
and that it is dangerous for séme,
if'they lack the experiojace to
take .care o f themselves out
there., -
The fire ©n Highway 9,;
though, was a sad thing to see
for some community* members
who live in the Simnasho^area.
As they make that daily drive to
the' Agency area to work,' it is
not the same scenic, beautiful
sight .they normally see.
i! is now burnt, and as
quoted, “like those Smofeey the
Bear commercials,” it just makes
a person sad to see thjs after
years o f driving through color
ful scenery.
T haven’t driven that route
yet, but I did just get used to
the burntscenery near HeHe:
That was hard for me to get
used to, because I thought the
’scenery all around there was
very nice, Especially where the
Warm Springs' River is located.
'Jjpfeee though that is has been
replanted and years from' now
we;may see that green scenery
around HeHe Butte. That would
be'nicer than the burnt trees you
se|: there now.
