FIRE SEASON OPENS EARLY IN TRUCKEE DIST. Fire season on the Truckee district of the Tahoe national forest as a result of the series of lightning storms that occurred from May 1 to May 8, the storm on Sunday causing three lightning fires that had to be extinguished, even the snow partly surrounded them, reports District Ranger H. J. Snider. One fire five miles south of Truckee near Shaffer Mill and another one on Deer Park Ridge five miles northwest of Tahoe City, started in large hollow fir trees that had to be felled, since such burning trees have been known to have held fire for several weeks and could cause a serious timber fire if they were allowed to smolder until the surrounding vegetation become dry in summer, Snider states. and The third fire, discovered by Stirling Ralphs from Big Chief Camp, 9 miles south of Truckee was among rotten logs where the lightning had jumped from a green tree that was blown to pieces by the force of the bolt. Power lines were disordered for a short time Sunday evening as a result of the storm but no serious damage resulted. — Since it is difficult to establish lookiout service yet due to snow coyering the roads to these points, discovery of the lightning fires must come through observations by local residents and patrolmen, and Snider urges anyone seeing smoke in uninhabited mountains to report it. to the forest service, since an unextinguished fire in a snowbank now may become a conflagration later in the season.
