Four Blazes Keep
Firemen Hopping
Heppner firemen had their
busiest week of the summer dur
ing the past seven days answer
ing four alarms between Friday
and Tuesday.
Friday afternoon a grassflre
covered a small area In a canyon
near the end of Morgan street,
but was practically under control
by the time the trucks arrived. An
Improper location was reported
and firemen were forced to look
for over 10 minutes to find the
site of the fire.
Monday morning a wheat
truck backed into a gasoline
pump at the Columbia Basin El
ectric co-o-p knocking it over and
setting it on fire. The blaze was
quickly controlled but the pump
was comDletelv destroyed. The
truck stalled near the pump but
was not damaged.
Monday afternoon youngsters
playing with matches started a
grass fire in the center of the
block behind the Catholic church
which for a time threatened small
buildings but was quickly con
trolled. Tuesdav morning the depart
ment answered its third call In
two days to the D. R. Tash resi
dence at the end of south Main
street when a pan of flaming
grease threatened to Ignite tne
kitchen. There was no damage
from the fire but one truck suf
fered slight damage when It went
Into a ditch going into the house.
Sprvlces of a wrecker were re
quired to get it back on the road
and it was back In operation in
less than an hour.
Stubble Burnt
Another fire which caused con
siderable excitement though it
was outside the jurlsrlctlon of
the Heppner department was a
blaze which destroyed about 300
acres of stubble on the Duvall
ranch In Blackhorse canyon op
erated by Bergen Ledbetter. The
fire started Tuesday morning ap
parently from a stubblebuster,
and cleaned out the entire field
before being controlled with the
help of neighbors and consider
able equipment. It burned a short
distance into the Bernard Do
herty property before being stop
ped. The fire sent up a big smoke
cloud which attracted lots of at
tention all over this section of
the county.

ARRIVED A LITTLE LATE This Heppner fire truck got witnm

to the house. The heavy truck slipped off the edge in soft dirt
and layed over against a fence. Damage was only minor and no
firemen on the truck were hurt. The other city truck continued
