April 5, 1931: "F.J. Shelley, district forester of the East Tennessee division of the state fire patrol was in Kingsport yesterday making preparations for the installation of six miles of telephone line to be placed from a point three miles below Blair's Gap to the fire lookout tower on the high point at Van Hill. This work is being done in an effort to minimize the number of fires that have been destroying the forests in this vicinity. There has already been reported 135 fires in this district since January."
