Before 300 workmen and 13 bulldozers had brought the fire under control, it had spread to within half a mile of the settlement. It is reported that a slight increase in the wind at the time would have brought devastating results to a greater part of the project. We should all learn a lesson from the fact that the fire is believed to have been started by a lighted match carelessly thrown away by a workman.
