80 Acres Burned In
Forest Fire Saturday

A forest fire last Saturday burned
over approximately 30 acres of land
west of Frostburg in the vicinity of
sawmill owned and operated by

in order to keep down debris at the
mill. The fire was contained in an
area about an eighth of a mile north
of Route 40 and west of Piney Run
road.
George Brown, a warden for the
Department of Forests and Parks,
was instrumental in saving the mill,
as was Elmer Upole, of Oakland, SUI
pervisor of the Department of For
csts and Parks. Volunteers responded
from nearby farms and from the
Frostburg Fire Department.
The fire occurred on land leased by
Coddington from Milton w. Race,
Frostburg.
