Brush Fires Cause
Extensive Damage
Heavy Smoke Covers
Entire Local Area

Tuesday morning, Noble county
residents awakened to find the
atmosphere cleared of the heavy
smoke that appeared Sunday
morning, and remained thru
Monday.
The sun was hardly more than
a red ball in the sky thru the
smoke screen and the odor of
burning wood was very evident
as grass and forest fires took
their toll thruout Ohio and sur
rounding states.
A grass fire was started, al
ledgedly by a cigarette tossed
from a passing auto, near Der
went Saturday. 1t was first no
ticed as a small fire close to the
intersection of U. S. route Il and
state route 313, but soon spread
before a slight wind. Several
hours were occupied by firemen
from surrounding communities in
extnguishing the flames. Fire
trucks were called from Cam
bridge, Caldwell, Pleasant City
and Senecaville.
1t was reported that over 200
acres were affected. Fortunately,
there were no buildings in the
area. so property damage was
negligible.
