Quotations

1942
Sparks and burning embers of a forest fire, caught by its up-draft and driven by the following wind, set small fires far ahead of the main fire. These are the fire fighter's main concern once he has a good fire trail built.
1955
On my next trip to Sikanaska I found evidence of a camp having been made there at the end of the fire trail.
