Lightning
Starts Fires
On Friday night, Heppner
experienced a severe lightn
ing storm, cutting off power
and telephones for about three
hours.
Lightning started three
grass fires, two near the Lott
Rasmussen Addition and one
at the edge of town on the
Condon Highway. Firemen
quickly responded and the
flames were all soon out with
the aid of the sudden shower
of rain.. . . .
There were a number of
fires on private and state
forest lands as well as on
National Forest areas. Smoke
jumpers came in on three of
the fires and all were kept to
small spot fires with very little
damage.
On Chase Street in Heppner
lightning struck a tree at Jim
Hager's and ripped off yards
of bark from the locust. The
same bolt may have been the
one that wrecked a television
set near by.
