siderable size. Every hour counts. a
fire that covered q few square yards
in the morning may be several square
miles in size by noon. The lookout
is especially handicapped when there
are old fires burning in the vicinity
and smoke cloud hangs over the
whole region. He cannot see the
flame, and new smoke column is lost
in the general fog.

sarily be invicible to a lookout. In
Oregon In 1919 the Aerial Patrol was
30 per cent OF the fores. fires.
The interesting phase OF fire con-
troll by airpiane is that 1t might be
developed into means of fighting
fires. when a fire has been dis
covered, the next problem is to get
ncn and tools to 1t. This must be
done in most cases by pack train. a
travel from headquarters. and is al
| most beyond control before 1t can be
reached. The men fight 1t blindly
hoping they may be able to restrain
tho advancing wall OF flame until rain
comes to their aid.

fected. 1t would be of almost incal'
