Five inches of snow prevents the ' fire fighters from getting to the 2'j-aere scene in the,high Balsams to check on the tire which is burn ing about ten feet below the sur face. according to It, E. Caldwell. ; county fire warden. The heavy siu^w in that area of last Tuesday has melted down to j live inches, but Warden Caldwell feels the slow smouldering lire continues. A lire lane lias been built around 100 acres iii the area, and with the snow covering the surface, fire j fighters feel that the smouldering embers will be confined within the area which is cut oil from the rest of the forest In tlie lane which was cut by a bulldozer. Warden Caldwell said the blaze began when hunters, or hikers stopped at the top of the thickly wooded area for a lunch. "We found empty tin cans and pieces of coi nhread where the campers stopped for lunch,' the warden said. Caldwell Was not too optimistic that the smouldering tire would be extinguished anytime soon, since there arc places under sheltered rocks where rains and snow cannot reach, he said " It will take just about a flood to soak down ten feet through the humus which has been building up for many, many years on top of the 5400-loot mountain 1 peak.
