To Control

Weary fire fighters last nightl had a brush fire in the Wood Isl- ands North district pretty well in check but it was stll burning and weather conditions today would do much to decide whether it would spread or be extinguished.

The firs burned over land own- sd by Dan McLeod, Duncan Mac- Millan and Donald Crawford. Only a. small amount of the lumber des- troyed was valuable, it was ‘said.

No buildings were in the dan- ger zone" last night but for a time Sunday afternoon the fire

threatened the mill and dwelling G

of Dan MacLeod and the farm buildings of Edgar Munn.

Yesterday fire fighters from Wood Islands and surrounding dis- tricts were assisted by sailors from the Navy training centre in Charlottetown while auxiliary pumping units were made avail- able from Roseberry, near the fire. and from Parkda e and Bruce Stewart and Company in Char- lottetcwn.

A small detail of sailors was left on duty last night to watch the fire and it was expected that relief parties would be sent out from the Queen Charlotte later.

The fire began originally Friday in a small area. and unarmed i0 b‘? out before fire fighters left it a few hours later. On Saturday. hc-w- ever. men inspecting the area found a few bits of smouldering ivcod and went to work Main to extin- guish the fire.

On Sunday lust after noon the a- larm was spread that a largo blaze had been discovered and a pumpinc unit from Roseberly near the fire. was sent into action immediately A brisk breeze got the fire under- way rspidly and early Simdav evening a pumping unit from
