Forest Fire Protection

The season of greatest danger from
forest fires is at hand, and unless
people living in or passing through the
wooded sections are more careful than
they have been to avoid starting fires,
it seems likely that an enormous lost
from forest fires will occur again this
spring.
Under the State law Of Maryland, it
is unlawful for any person to set fire to
brush or leaves>on his own land without
having previously taken every possible
precaution against the spread of the
fire to other lands not his own, and it
such fire does spread the person start
ing it is liable for damages for the in
jury done and also for the cost of fight
ing the fire.
In case of person who starts fire
in woods, brush. etc., on land not his
own, the law is even more severe. 1t
provides penalty of fine of from $25
to $1,000, or Imprisonment of from one
month to one year, or both such fine
and imprisonment. This applies wheth-
err the act was done carelessly or mali
ciously, and a few convictions under
this law will certainly go long way
toward stopping this abuse.
All aw-mills, threshing engines, etc.,
which are operated in, through, or
near forest or brush, are required to
carry sparkarresters to prevent the es-
cape of sparks from their smoke-stacks,
and failure to comply is misdemeanor,
punishable by fine of $40 to 500.
A number of responsible and public
spirited men have recently been COM
missioned by the Governor as Forest
Wardens to enforce these laws and to
direct the fighting of all forest fires
IN their rectiens.
The Wardens already appointed for
this county are: W. T. Denote, Ber-
wyn; W. Seton Belt, Oak Grove; w. H.
Benton, Berywn; George P. Bewley,
Berwyn; H. B. Brady, Aquasco; John
Snowden, Laurel.
1t rests with the people of Prince
Georges County whether they will to
the fullest extent take advantage of
this wise law for their protection, and
the State Forester urges every citizen
to do his part in preventing and extin-
gushing fires in the woods, and to re-
| mort to the nearest Forest Warden all
| fires and violations of law.
