As we continue to celebrate our 75th anniversary and begin to go through old documents we came across this tidbit. It appears to have been a message sent to command during a drill. The message from John Dodge to then IC Parisi detailing where a temporary morgue was set up.

Rattlesnake Fire Update – Pemigewasset Ranger District

Firefighters are continuing work today on the Rattlesnake Fire near Rumney, NH. The wildfire is creeping along the forest floor with occasional 1‑foot flame lengths during wind gusts. Some areas are too steep to access, so crews are using an indirect strategy in those sections and going direct where it is safe to do so.

The fire is about 40% contained, and there are 16 personnel from the U.S. Forest Service and the State of New Hampshire working on the fireline to strengthen control lines and limit further spread.

A big shout out to the local fire departments that responded yesterday. Their quick response and coordination with incoming wildland resources provided important support at the start of the incident.

Trailhead closures along Buffalo Road that access the Rumney climbing areas and Rattlesnake Mountain remain in place for public and firefighter safety. We’ll continue to share updates as conditions change.
