LIGHTNING THE CAUSE
Of MANY FOREST FIRES
Ranks Next to Railroads, and May
Be the Largest Single
Offender.

Exhaustive inquiry has established the
fact that lightning ranks next to rail-
roads as a source of forest fires. says a
bulletin from the forestry service. Forest
officers say that the increasing care with
fire on the part of the railroads and the
public generally tends to make lightning
the largest single contributing cause.
This statement represents change of
view from that held less than a decade
ago in this country, when forest jour-
nails gravely argued whether lightning
caused forest fires. though It was known
that trees were the objects most often
struck. Trees are said to be oftenest
struck, simply because they are SO nu-
merous, and extending upward they
shorten the distance between the ground
and the clouds; further. their branches
in the air and roots well into the earth
invite electrical discharges.
No Trees Are Immune.
While certain trees are said to invite
lightning, and others to be immune from
stroke, it seems to be fact that any
kind Of tree will be struck. and the most
numerous tree species in any locailty is
the one most likely to suffer
seeks the tallest tree. or an Isolated tree,
or one on high ground. deep-rooted
tree is better conductor than shall
low-rooted one and a tree full of sap,
or wet with rain, is. of course, better
conductor than d dry one.
Lightning sets fire by igniting the tree
itself, particularly when it is dead, or
partly decayed and punky, or by ignitlng
the dry humus or duff at its base. The
forest soil, when dried out, ignites read
ily because it is made of partly decayed
twigs and leaves. and it can hold
smoldering fire for considerable period.
1t is probable that most of the lightning
set; fires start in the duff.
Dry Thunderstorm Perils.
In the mountains of southern California,
Arizona and New Mexico there are likely
to be each year a number of electrical
disturbances known as dry thunder
storms" They come at the end of the
long dry season. and being unaccom-
panied by rain are very likely to start
many serious fires. For this reason the
forest service has to keep up its maxi
mum fire-fighting strength in those re-
gions until the rains are fully estab-
lished In the plans and organization for
fire fighting the service aims particularly
to catch these unpreventable lightning
set fires at the time they start.
