Company 3281, CCC, was organized at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on April 3, 1939, with First Lieut. George W. Warren in Command.
On April10 the Company left Fort Dix for Philipsburg, Montana, arriving Thursday, April 13. Technical service trucks met the train at Philipsburg and after a ride of nine miles the enrollees arrived at the mouth of Flint Creek Canyon where their visions of roughing it in the Montana Rockies were soon dispelled because they found a modern and fully equipped camp in which all buildings were furnished with running water and commercial power.
The present staff consists of Mr. Cyril E. Rozea, who has been in command since September 1, 1939; Dr. Clyde E. Shank, Camp Surgeon; Mr. Kenneth B. Moore, Education Adviser.
This camp has been active in many projects, some of which are as follows: The construction of campground sites, the largest being the Foster Creek Camp ground, which contains fifty-seven acres and is the largest in Region One. The construction of two ranger stations and administrative buildings at Philipsburg. Other accomplishments are mostly improvements on the Deerlodge Forest; fence construction; telephone construction, roadside cleanup; landscaping around the Philipsburg range Station; lookout construction, trail and road construction. The sign shop had made hundreds of routed signs for the Deerlodge Forest, and in addition, has constructed all the equipment and tables that have been placed in the camp grounds.
The company, due to the fact that it is the only Forest Service camp in the Butte, Anaconda, and Deerlodge area, has built up quite a reputation as a fire fighting unit. Last summer fires were fought throughout the Deerlodge Forest and as far north and south as Kalispell and Yellowstone Park.
