The facts of Migrants case however. are
not cold-oiooded. His great heroiSm is that of
the red-blooded man, alive to his danger vet
master not only over his situation but over
himself as well. His nerves were nerves of
steel, that the roaring hell of a forest fire
only served to temper. 1t is tragic that such
persons as he should be forced to give their
lives In the battle against the great red demon
of the forests.
Toward the middle of August Ingram was

Her0lSm IN Foresf-FIive Battles

TALES of heroism coming from the forest
fire regions seldom heard but now and
then one stands out so wildly that it makes
itself known
Forest-fire work is a desperate thing. The
fire is spectacular, but the fighting methods
call for fortitude rather than the outstanding
supreme effort of an individual which shines
forth, testifying to the world that the days of
heroes are not passed
forest-fire hero is a man ready to lay down
his life in horrible death If need be. He may
undertake death-defying dash to bring a
warning to endangered men, He may only be
cool-headed in time of panic when cool head
means the lives Of many
These things occur far away from civiliza-
ton. There is roaring crowd to shout its
approval There is no reporter stand ng con-
Venlentiy by to paint in glowing terms
instances of heroism of those who do their
stun in the cities before those closely
linked by wire radio to the cities
These forest heroes risk their lives as a
matter of course and now and then some
mixing OF what they have done is found in
an Official report which tells in a few matter
of-fact sentences a tale of great bravery.
Such case is that of Douglas c. Ingram
assistant in range management in the district
office at Portland, Greg
The Forest Service in reporting the loss of
IA lives during the forest-fire season among
those who fought tells of Migrants exploit
Ihe official reports words are almost cold
