“The forest fire on Elephant Mountain, (July 22, 1919) caused excitement among the summer colony at the Landing when it burned an area of sixty acres. The reflection from the flames illuminated the surrounding country which gave a very beautiful color effect on the waters of the lake. A number of our guests assisted in extinguishing the flames.”
