The blaze famed by a strong northwest wind, spread rapidly and in little over an hour had covered over hundred acres and reached a point near the old Log Cabin. Breck- bill fearing that it would pump the road on Fall Mountain, sent a call for the fire department and Squad again responded. Through their efforts and backiring by the warden, this was averted.
 The smoke was so dense that it was noticed by the lookout on Avon mountain, who notified Assistant County Fire Warden Lathrop, who came to the assistance of the local crew.
