A corps of volunteer fire fighters from Greater Capitol Heights, Boulevara Heights, Seat Pleasant and other neighboring townships, battled with the blaze all afternoon and at dusk had succeeded in materially reducing the danger of fur- ther spread of the flames. Largely through backfiring and pre- paredness for the fire, dwellings were not seriously affected. The presence of firefighting apparatus, however, Was urgently requested by several residents of the area known as Fox Cover when the blaze, fanned by crept dangerously close to their houses. Evidence of Two Fires. Conflicting reports as to the point of origin of the fire gave way to the belief that it had its start almost simul- tancously in the section to the south- wesward of Clinton and in the densely wooded area between Suitland and Redd's Corner. It burned through the forest on both sides of the State road between Meadows and Redd's Corner, and, since it is thought improbable that it could have spread across this high- way, because the tall timbers do not come close to the roadside, the mort than one point of origin was suggested. Other than a $1,000 loss to R. H. Myers, on whose property northwest of Meadows more than 125 cords of cut and dried cord wood were destroyed, few estimates of property damage could be ascertained.
