|H0W UNCLE SAM FIGHTS THE FOREST FIRES
BY HENRY S. GRAVES, CHIEF
FORESTER OF THE UNITED
STATES.

The principles 4 fighting forest
those recognizeaN fighting fires
in cities. The following are of
first Importance: Cd quick arrival
at the fire; (2) an adequate force !;
CD proper equipment; (4) a thor
Ough organization of the fighting
crew; and 60 skill in attacking
and fighting fires.
Quick access to fire is accom-
plished through the work of super
vision and patrol in discovering
fires before they have gained much
Roadway, and by well developed
system of communication through
the forest by roads and trails.
A small fire may be put out by
one man, but in extensive forests
several hours may pass before the
fire can be reached. In well Or
gained system of patrol the guard
who discovers a fire communicates
quickly to other guards and to
headquarters by telephone, signal
or other means, and indicates the
number of men he needs. 1t is es-
sential that there be definite ar
engagements for securing force OF
men in case of fire. This may be
accomplished by cooperation with
lumber or sawmill operators, or in
the case of small tracts, through
the cooperation of neighboring
owners. In some states there are
fire wardens who may call upon
residents to assist in fighting the
fires.
Just as in a city the efficiency of
a fire service depends in large
part on the equipment, so also in
forest work it is essential that fire
fighters be furnished with the
proper tools and other equipment.
The implements needed for fight
ing fires differ under different con-
ditions. Wherever dirt can be used
the men should be provided with
long handled shovels. If water is
available, buckets, and where pos
sible, bucket pumps should be pro-
vided Under most conditions 1t Is
desirable to have mattocks ana
iron rakes, and there should al
ways be axes to aid in clearing
brush or cutting through down tim
Der and old tops.
Small surface fires may often be
beaten out. Where there are tops
or piles of brush, or the fire is
burning through thick brush or UNI
dergrowth, beating is very difficult.
There are various devices for
beating. A blanket, coat or riding
slicker is often used. A gunnysack
is one of the best implements for
beating particularly If it can be
wet from time to time. A handful
of green bush serves also very well
for a beating device. In beating
out fire, one strikes the fire with
sideways sweep, driving the
flames and burning material back
upon the burned ground. A direct
stroke scatters the fire.
While the surface fires are dead
