FOREST FIRES IN THE U. P.
OCCURRED WITHIN 10 DAYS
SECRETARY OF PROTECTIVE AS
ISOLATION POINTS OUT
MANY REMEDIES.

la report of Thomas B. Wayman
secretary treasurer of the Northern
Michigan Forest Protective association,
for period of six weeks, from June
- To August /. the causes of fires
and remedies therefore are cnumcr-
ated. The report states that all Of the
fires reported occurred during ten days
from June - to June % Twenty
fires covering approximately $50
acres oi which Lotto acres were burned
by a single fire were reported. The
fire which burned the greatest area
however was stopped at the green
timber line. The causes of these fires
were as follows
Railroads, :; slash burning, 4 camp
crs, 4; lightning, >; outbreak of pre-
vious fire, /; purposcly set, / unknown
II.
OF the railroad fires. 8 were set by
locomotives on main lines and draw
ing passenger trains ana were
charged To logging locomotives
Cooperation ON the part of the pub
lie in general has been responsible for
the small ndmbcr of fires caused by
camp fires aud the prompt reporting
of such fires indicates a growing inter-
est to protection against destructive
forest fires.
The secretary states that much
good is being accomplished by owners
of hunting lands and fishing streams
prohibiting the use thereof by sports
men without securing a permit. Such
permits include provisions that must
be fulfilled, one of which is the agree
mcnt that no fire or burning material
shall he laid upon the ground and the
lighting of fires should be limited to
camp stoves exclusively. The matter
Of clearing land by farmers is
also dwelt upon and mention of SUI
pervsors prohibiting such work under
the guidance of the statutes was made.
