NEW FIRE FIGHTING EQUIP
MENT IN USE IN THIS DISTRICT
Ranger Bayle's Experiment Proves
Success in Distinguishing
Small Fires.

P. j. Bayle, district forest ranger,
has long been known as one who
thinks first of his men. AS the
rangers chief duty is putting out
small fires before they become
conflagration. much of his time is
spent in combating the small fire.
These fires get into hollow logs and
rotten stumps and creep up standing
trees. Heretofore. when there was
no dirt to be thrown, water had to
be put on these blazes.
The forest officer, seeing the toll
this entailed, set about to lessen the
work and save his men. This prob
lem was still in his mind when he
took charge Of the State Forest Serv-
ice booth at the State Fair last year.
Here tree sprayers were used to pro-
tect the trees on exhibit from the
heat. Then Mr.. Bayle saw what he
was looking for. When the exhibit
was closed he had the sprayers sent
to his headquarters here.
Patrolmen Eckback and Breslin,
who "cleaned up" after the fire at
the Brule, are very enthusiastic in
their praise Of the new equipment.
Zone sprayer full of water does as
much good as twenty pails," declared
Patrolman Eckbeck after a day in
the field with this unique equip
ment.
''Thcy make you feel like real
fireman." was Patrolman Breslin's
brief but full comment.
Improvement is needed, however.
Ranger Bayle and his staff have de-
cided that the tank, when made es-
pecially for the work, should hold
six gallons, be fitted with two inch
pack-straps, and slung on like
pack-sack. Sprayers are now being
used at a fire near Grand Portage.
