Government Reports Lowest Fire
Loss

With the middle of September
the fire season on the national for
ests has come practically to an end
with less damage than nver record
ed. There is always some danger
from carelessness of campers or OF
settlers burning brush and clearing
land, but the real danger season ex-
tends only from the middle OF June
to the middle of September.
Forest officers throughout the
west are congratulating themselves
on a season so markedly free from
heavy losses. They feel that the
immunity from loss has been due
to two principal causes, partly to a
favorable season, but largely to a
much better organization for tlre
prevention than has been attained
heretofore. The effectiveness OF
the organization is shown part1-
cularly by the fact that while there
were in all approximately 2,2oO
fires, as against 2,47O last year, yet
the area burned this year IS only
about $4,000 acres as against ESQ.,
900 acres in 1912, and 100000 III
1911.
A single administrative district,
which covers the intermounta1n re-
gion of southern Idaho, western
Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and ives
tern Arizona, gives an example OF
the most favorable condition. Only
43 fires were encountered, 20 OF
which originated in Idaho. The
total area burned over amounted
to only $50 acres, which is con-
siderably less than four one-hun-
dred-thousandths of the total area
patrolled by forest officers in these
states.
California, Arizona and New
Mexico have suffered most during
the past season.
The various causes of fires have
not changed greatly i'll their relative
proportions. Railroads and light
ming head the list with campers
next. There has been however, E
marked decrease in the number Of
fires caused by burning brush
which, according to the forest
! officers, indicates a closer coopera
ton with the settlers in and neal
the forests and with cumberland
owners in fire prevention and con
troll. 1t is still true, nevertheless
that large proportion of all fire:
started are due to human agencie:
and may generally be charged
against carelessness. Fires caused
by lightning are of course not pre-
ventable, but the system of look
outs by which they may be detect
ed Immediately after being set i
greatly lessen!ng the loss from Thu
source.
