Brewer said four plane loads of fire retardant from Redmond and La Grande slowed down the juniper and grassfire before it reached timber and a house beyond the trees. Fifty of the firefighters were volun teers from the Kinzua Corpor ation. By three or four a.m., the fire was fully under control. The blaze was first spotted by two State lookouts at Snowboard and Rencheria. Also on Friday, State fire fighters contained a 60 acre blaze with assistance from two helitack crews and 8 smoke jumpers and a 15 acre blaze. Both were in grass and juniper. There were 23 fires burning in small acreage Thursday with the majority being man ned by 70 firefighters, 'iuree fire units came from the Prineville area and Brewer reported in the early after noon, the blazes 75 percent controlled. Kinzua Corpora tion volunteered 12 em ployees. A helicopter was used in the initial attack on the fires which began with the thunder storm activity about 6 p.m. Wednesday. And two Forest Service pumpers were used to dampen the blazes. On Monday, Brewer said district workers were re checking the smothered blazes to make sure they were out.

The stove is now used in 10 countries Guatemala, In donesia, Nepal, Mexico, Hon duras, the Republic of South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Lesotho and Upper Volta. In Guatemala, the Choqui Experimental Station is mon itoring 1,000 stoves that are in daily use. In Indonesia, that country's equivalent of the U.S. Peace Corps is training 2,400 persons in Lorena tech nology. Evans returned last month from Nepal, and he says a reforestation scheme there could result in the construc tion and use of about 180,000 stoves in the next four years. The Aprovecho Institute, a non-profit international re search group, also trains people to build the stove and promote its use. And Evans says the Peace Corps, Volun teers in Asia, and most recently, the World Bank, are interested in the stove. Evans also plans to develop similar cookstoves and heat ing stoves for use in the Pacific Northwest. "We want to develop cheap, owner-built stoves that will have a higher energy efficien cy than any comparable stoves available anywhere in the world," he says. Evans has written an 80 page booklet, "Lorena Owner Built Stoves," that can be obtained by sending $3 to Appropriate Technology Pro ject, Volunteers in Asia, Box 4543, Stanford, Calif. 94305.
