that we started out to do our fire
fighting and much to the disgust
Of yours truly the fire had gone
out.
But we had to fight it Just the

boys had by Il marvellous bit of
hackfiring managed to save tn
the Coogan ranch holdings. We
learned that in all Pine Valley had
lost Is cabins and that four more
had been destroyed at point west
Of Pine Valley. All about us stretch.

NJ midnight we were called back
to the road. Lunch was served and
then we were headed up the high
way toward Buckman Springs. But
we had not reached the Springs
when we were headed off and sent
back again. Two fires had broken
out at point lust west of Buckman

Us 20 the blaze had sent us back,
the fires in the hills being of the
nature that would eventually burn
themselves out.
We resumed chopPing operations
shortly after / clock, this time

hacked our way, cutting trail. We
cooled the hot spots and cut brush
