secretary of the park commission in
charge of fighting the flames. Park
Warden Dool declared early today that

destruction unless fresh fire fighters
are furnished immediately.
Last reports today from the scene
of the blaze showed that the flames
had entered the redwood park be-
tween the east and west forks of Wad.

change to the south the entire forest
would be in very grave danger. Some
splendid timber is already in flames.
The fire fighters who have been at
work without rest for 48 hours back
fired in the park all night and early
today. Many of these fighters have
collapsed under the istrain of their
efforts. To relieve them, Professor
Wing hurried to Boulder creek where
he made an attempt to engage q large
number of men.
Unless the fire is checked soon, the
wind will carry it to Ben Lomond
