nate lodges. Claude Hudson was In

CREWS BATTLE
FOREST BLAZE
Wide Area Near Frost
Bridge Swept By Fire;
Warning Given

The first forest fire In the state
since the hurricane was quelled just
outside waterbury yesterday, after
fire crews had battled 1t for hours.
The blaze burned through 10 acres
Of brush before 1t was placed under
control by three forest fire crews,
aided by a power pump.
Since the hurricane, authorities
have been fearful that a series of
disastrous forest blazes might occur.
Fallen trees have choked the for
ests and made many sections vir-
tually impossible, thereby hamper
ing fire-fightihg work. In addition,
The woodlands have been extremely
dry.
Yesterdays blaze was near Frost
bridge, and threatened for time to
spread into the Mattatuck state for
est. Warden Supervisor e. M. G.
Eddy, who directed the crews, said
that the fire was caused by a group
of WPA workers, who lighted a
brush fire. The WPA men, he said,
are engaged In a road-widening pro-
ject for the town Of WATERFOWL.
In the same section, In 1882, q
forest fire burned through $50 acres
of woodland before 1t was checked.
In eastern Connecticut, where
hurricane damage was especially Sc
we're, lighting Of fires In forest areas
has been forbidden except on days
Of transforms.
