A large capacity chipper spews chips as it processes logging slash next to Clearwater River Road last week. Firewood-cutters apparently left the slash last fall, creating a fire hazard for neighboring homes. Clearwater Fire Department is considering a practice burn to help eliminate some of the slash in the near future.
