Set Five Fires
Dry conditions on the Bear
Lodge district of the Black Hills
National Forest coupled with
electrical storms produced five
more fires last week.
This brings to 19 the number
of fires controlled on the district
this year.
The fires, all sta ed by light.
~ing, burned less than ¥4 of an
acre.
On Saturday, fires were con-
trolled on the Bushnell ranch
and at Rocky Ford while fires at
Dry Lake and Lytle Creek were
controlled Sunday. Forest Sorv.
ice crews mopped up with local
ranchers assisting on two of the
fires.
On June 13, Forest Service
crews from Sundance and New.
castle suppressed a blaze near
Halns Spring in the Lost Canyon
area.
The Forest Service said one
of the 19 fires was caused appar.
ently as a result of children play-
ing with fire in the woods. The
Forest Service asked parents to
caution their children about
building fires or playing with
matches in the woods.
