New Pine Creek

Ranchhouse Burn
The 1949 fire season had opened in full force in this area
today. This morning, the historic Gerber ranch house south
of Bly was leveled by flames, while yesterday fire snuffed
the center from the business district of tha southern Lake
county town of New Pine Creek.
Sleeper lightning fires wera causing trouble in the forest
areas, and a heavy movement of visitors to the open country
over the week-end was expected to creota mounting hazards.
The Gerber ranch fire, located about 12 miles south of
Bly on tha ranch owned by Henry Gerber, was reported jutf
after 8 o'clock this morning by half dozen lookouts on th
Klamath Forest Protective association and the Fremont for
est. These reports pin-pointed the blaze immediately at th
Gerber ranch, and mountain top observers said the flames
were so high it was immediately certain a building was ablaxo.
The Bly ranger station dispatched a crew to the fire im
mediately ond the men found the big ranch house ablaze
throughout. The fire-fighters managed to sove the barn and
equipment, and a house containing a propane tank, but could
do nothing to save the house and closer buildings, including
a chickenheuse.
Two buc karoos. Spike Wright and a
a man named Cada, had spent the
