To the Town Forest Fire wardeas
TO date there have been l5s fires
reported for the season OF ls22.
There may be some reports not Jet
in. II there are any that you haven't
cent Ia please do so al your earliest
convenience.
Railroads caused 20 OF these ares:
burning brush or pasture az: light

diary 1: miscellaneous 7. unknown
Al. You notice that man is his own
worst enemy when IL comes TO forest
fres. Practically all OF these fires
were from preyentable causes. More
care on the part OF those using iire
In or near the woods would do Won
ders In cutting down the loss due TO
forest fires
only 10 Of these fires we're less
than one-fourth acre. 81 we're be-
tween one-fourth acre and ten acres,
and 40 were over ten acres. II We
could keep bigger percentage OF
FIRES under ono fourth acre the dam
age and cost OF the FIRE would be
much less. The only way 20 do this
Il 70 get little quicker action on the
fires. IL is often hard for the Ere
warden 10 do this because he Is often
some distance from the fire But 1t
should be possible to arouse sufficient
public interest so that each person ia
the town will extinguish voluntarily
lany FIRE he may discover This Is
our best chance for keeping small
those fires which do start.
These fires burned over 3,444
acres and damaged property TO the
extent OF $500. Fires from burn
Ing brush caused the greatest dam
age followed by fires from unknown
causes and fires from numbering In
the order named. You will agree
with me, ! am sure, that this damage
in a comparatively easy fire season
such as we had this year Is too great
The only remedy is fewer fires and
! smaller ones.
The towns spent $2.5SS for sup
, pressing these fires In addition TO the
} gratuitous help which was received.
: While this amount Is not very great.
: it is still too large a sum to pay for
, the luxury Of being careless and
{ thoughtless In such favorable sea-
? son as we have just had.
| have given you these figures 80
that you may compare the experience
In your own town with the expert
, ence OF the state as a whole. II is
not too early to begin talking FIRE
protection for next year. Every fire
that is prevented from happening by
little care on some ones part means
one less TO night and pay for. Ana
I've the fires IN your own town and
i see II they couldn't have been pre-
vented If some one had been more
careful
