Fire departments from throughout east Missouri helped fight a raging brush fire on Pilot Knob Mountain in Iron County on Tuesday. The fire, which encompassed around 400 acres of land, is believed to have started around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon and was reportedly brought under control by 9:40 p.m. that evening. This photo by Vincent Price shows the fire racing across the face of the mountain from the vantage point of the walls of Fort Davidson, where the Battle of Pilot Knob was fought during the Civil War.
