fires in the great forests OF the Pa
cific Northwest
On the success of a test to be made
next spring by the Marconi company
in one of the forests near Spokane
hangs the future of wireless as a
means of fighting fire.
Special apparatus will be placed on
the trails used by the forest rangers,
who will carry emergency aerials to
string between two high trees at any
point in the woods By this means it
is proposed to have reported to a cen
trail station any incipient blazes, so
that tire-ighting squads may be rushed
to the scene in time to prevent the
fire from gaining headway.
The Carconl people claim to have
perfected the apparatus so that eli
matte or fire conditions would not
prevent transmission of electric waves.
