the estimated 90 firefighters
almost had a fire trail around
95 percent of the fire. 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 Heppner Ranger Dist
rict was able to send five
firefighters to the Shaw Moun
tain fire at La Grande
Wednesday and those em
ployees have returned, Bow
man told the Gazette.

for firewood and more for
food, thus increasing the
nutritional value of their diets.
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.
