Roy Weeman, forest ranger for the
Estacada division of the Mt. Hood na
tional forest said this week that fire
guards, Rex Orser, Henry Suter and
“Jiggs” Pederson had been ordered
to fire duty in the Fanton, Bedford
point and Hillockburn areas due to
the continuous low humidity and high
east winds.
Burning conditions the past weekorv
more has caused a dangerous situa
tion to exist where burning is done in
the open fern area of these districts.
This spring is declared to be the
dryest and to offer the greatest fire
hazards that have been known for
many years. There is little snow in
the mountains and prospects for a
dry summer with scarcity of water
are indicated by present conditions.
Rains Decrease Danger
The heavy rains of the last three
days have greatly decreased the fire
danger it was declared today. How
ever much more rain will have to fall
before normal spring conditions will
prevail.
