FIGHT FOREST FIRES
WITH Department

Y Duluth, Mimi. Nov. 10.-A forest
fire fighting outfit that can be operated
like a city department-that'is the oD-
iective set by members Of the Wales
Forest Protective association, who are
concerned over the increased ire
hazard in their timber holdings which
cover fourteen townships in Lake
county, Minnesota.
Nine firms financially interested in
this section of the north woods are
represented in the association, Whlch
is said to be the first of its kind or
ganized. A large steel lookout post
has been erected emergency fire roads
cut through the woods and the timber
seton covered with network or tele'
phone wires. Lumber-camps have
been connected by telephone with the
Headquarters Of the fire fighting force,
which is located at SCOTS Junction.
When the guard in the tower spots
a fire he notifies main headquarters,
which in turn calls the various lumber
camps. Lumberjacks who respond are
dispatched to the fire on speeders
which operate on the logging rail-
roads covering the district From the
main headquarters comes the hre
train consisting of a large tank filled
with water and pulled by speeder
Portable gasoline engines provide the
pumping power.
No serious fires occurred during the
recent fire season in this section al
though other sections of the north
woods were endangered repeatedly by
disastrous blazes.
As the fire hazard increases due to
the continual heavy cutting opera
tions, the organization is enlarging its
fire fighting machine. During the
coming winter additional cabins Will
be built to shelter guards and many
miles of telephone lines will be strung
through the wooded region.
