/
! Forest Fire Warden w. G. RILEY,
Chief NJ. A. Norton this morning is
| sued an order prohibiting the kindllng
! of bontircs in any part of the town,
at the same time concentrating UNI
! til further notice permits that he has
| already given out The new order
will be in force until there is rain and
! the danger of forest fires is reduced
/ to u minimum.
During the past week numerous
! brush fires, some of which threatened
| to assume serious proportions, were
! reported and while they were in all
! cases eXtinguished before any appre-
| clable damage was done, property
owners had cause for fright The ac-
! ton of the state forest fire warden
| will be favorably received here as 1T
is believed it will eliminate much of
! the danger which bonres have
! caused.
There were a number of grass and
| brush tires in this locality yesterday.
| In the western section Of the town
! there was a lively blaze in the mea-
| dows and on the mountain near
! White Oak, the brush was blazing
| away merrily for some time. In the
/ afternoon Chief Norton received
! call from residents of the Southing-
| ton road who feared that a grass fire
! in their neighborhood might COM
| municate to the houses. The blaze
| had been started, it was said, by
! sparks from the engine of a passing
| freight train. Chief Norton called
| on the railroad men to extinguish it
but it got beyond their control and
| began to assume such a serious aspect
| hat 1o don ut, oyf'S MI CHI
! cal was pressed into service. A
couple of firemen handled the situa-
| tion and in a short time the fire was
put out. 49,.
| Chief Norton has turned down rath
| er an unusual request form the Boy
! Scouts of New Britain. The young
| sters wanted permission to start bon
| fires in the woods for experimental
purposes. They wanted the permit
to cover any time they made their
trips. Chief Norton didn't believe
in having the boys start fires in
discriminatory and he couldn't see,
anyway, how he could thOrize
them to kindle fires on other peoples
property. Hence his refusal to issue
the permit.
