Wildfires broke out around 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon north of Canadian
near the intersection of Tandy and River roads, bringing fire department crews
from several area communities to assist the Canadian Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment infighting the wind-fanned flames. The fire originated near a workover
rig, burning that unit, a water truck and a backhoe before firefighters were
able to get the blaze under control. As many as 50 units responded to the call
for mutual aid, and by 6 p.m., crews radioed back to the Canadian Fire Sta-
tion that the fire was contained.

Reports of another grass fire on Air-
port Road added further to the already
tension-filled radio traffic yesterday
afternoon. Canadian VFD units that
had remained in town for backup re-
sponded to the grass fire, which had
been set by welders working in a nearby
tank yard and spread quickly to a near-
by pile of railroad ties. Wednesday's
gusty winds and extreme dry conditions
were expected to ease with the arrival of
a cold front bringing with it the pos-
sibility of moisture in the form of rain
or snow Thursday morning (see related
story on page 10).
