SPECIAL FIRE PRO-
lection DISTRICTS
o...vst;on Commission Inaugu-
ate, Plan to Further Protect
Forests Against Fire.

A. a means to provide further
-..tection to Wisconsin's forests
rroinst the ravages of fire the Con-
s.rotion commission is organizing
.oacial fire protective districts.
rar+sin limits are defined for each
E,trict and headquarters established
i each district for fire warden.
There will be eight districts in the
state. -,
mart Of Iron county will be in
.n5ed in a district, the area of this
,ortbarn district comprising forty
tovnsbips or approximately 100000
ares The official notice of the
establishment Of special fire protec-
top districts is published elsewhere
in this issue
In connection with the notices of
Ne fire districts the commission
tned a memorandum which explains
in detail the plan of the commission
and which is printed herewith:
Memorandum On Forest Protection
= IA Connection With Special Fire
Protective Districts.
Protection of forest, marsh, or
ut-over land from running or un-
controlled fire is an absolute re-
urement before any forest replace
nent program can work and before
The damaging effects of such fires
to game, natural beauty, waterflow,
and land resources can be relieved.
In order to add to the protection
gwen to such areas in the state, it
imperative that a systematic and
organized effort be made year in
snd year out. The risk from these
fires one season with the other will
vary Oftentimes very widely and the
type Of soil, kind of tree, and other
yegetative growth, acreage of land
cleared, etc, in region, will
materially influence the extent and
damage from such fires. In other
EofdS, there are areas in the state
abiected to relatively greater
damage from fire than what might
occur on others and after Analysing
y the general situation this commission
believes that the state should in
ienafy its protective effort on the
areas Of greatest risk and possible
Damage With this in mind the last
legislature authorized the establish
nent Of eight special fire protective
districts and the organization of
hese districts is now going on.
The plan Of the commission is to
lsine the limits of special fire
protective district and to establish
eadquarters for the fire warden

Z will organize the district for
a'est protection and will take

ment in forest and land protection
may result. The state in itself
cannot and does not expect to do the
entire job, but will have to depend
upon the direct assistance of all local
agencies and particularly land
owners and the contribution of the
state will be principally in the initial
improvements and in maintaining
the organization year after year
Unless suitable protection against
fire can be accomplished through a
systematic and consistent effort
continuing year after year in
prescribed areas, the whole thing
just about becomes hopeless task.
1t should be borne in mind that
legitimate use of fire, such as land
clearing, road clearing, the reduction
of dangerous slash hazards, etc, is
not to be discouraged, but the
practice Of setting fire for a
beneficial purpose and then letting
it run all over the country and over
the property of others should be
stopped. There is a great OPP
portunity for splendid work to be
done in fire prevention among
campers, settlers, along railroads,
and among the entire population in
regions having distinct risk from
these fires and this work should pay
out in big dividends through the
building up of the natural land re-
sources of the region and this with
out interference to any other kind
of development.
