Exlreme Forest-Fire Dqnger Cired

Two forest fires were burning o-irt of control late in January on lands protected by the California Division of !.orestry. A 200-acre fire pushed by 20 to 25-mile-per-hour winds near San Juan Capis- trano in southwest Orange county was expected to burn into the city limits of San Clemente before it could be controlled. Three California Division of Forestry crews were on the fire, more being sent in and the California Disaster Office was asked for assistance-. There was no immediate threat to lives or structures.

Another wildfire near Point Sur in Monterey County (about 25 miles south of Carmel) burned over 800 acres in heavy fuel. F.or_ esters expected this blaze to be under control late January 19.

State F orester Francis H. Raymond reports that all State forest firefighters were terminated after the heavy rains late last year. The present fires were being fought by year-long personnel who normally.constitute the trained nucleus around which the summer firefighting teams are built, and inmates from Conservation Camps. RaSrmond further reports that the extended dry spell this winter, the longest in almost 75 years, had created a very dangerous fire potential throughout most of the state.
