BLUE JOB MOUNTAIN
New Hampshire - Strafford County
1915-1916 biennium: "A new steel tower has been built on Blue Job Mountain." (State of New Hampshire: Biennial Report of the Forestry Commission for the years from 1915-1916)
August 5, 1948: "Chief Ralph G. Seavey of the Rochester Fire Department received a call late Tuesday afternoon from the lookout in the fire tower above Blue Job mountain in Stratford that a load of hay was on fire in the Merrill's Corner district.
The chief and Deputy Chief Robert Smith of the Forestry Fire Fighting Service went to the place and were surprised to find that the hay was burning on a truck in the middle of a field on the former Drew farm.
Some of the new mown hay had been fired by the exhaust pipe of the truck and the entire load was destroyed. Use of Indian pumps prevented the spread of the flames to other sections of the hay field." (Portland Press-Herald)
