COOPERATION RESPONSIBLE
FOR CONTROL FOREST FIRES

Denver.-Forest fire damage In Colo
RADIO has been held to minimum dur
ing the last ten years by the interest
and responsibility taken by local citi-
zens, according to Allen S. Peck, dis
trlct, forester, U. S. Forest Service,
Denver, Colorado. Residents in and
around the forest regions of the state
have not been content with leaving
fires to burn until discovered by q
public officer. Nor have they consid-
cred their duty done when the fire was
reported. In many cases the forest
ranger has made long ride in search
Of an ever-dlminishing smoke only to
find fire under the control of volun-
teer fire fighters from the local COM,
munity. This splendid spirit Is an in
valuable asset to Colorado which as a.
state is dependent on the forests not
only as the source of economic neces-
stiles but as an important attraction to
thousands of visitors every summer.
The problem which now remains to
be solved is the elimination of man
caused fires. 1t is folly for the public
to pay trained foresters to act as a
body guard for careless campers and
smokers and thus to accomplish what
ordinary care on their part should do,
and 1t is an injustice to place the bur-
den of these fires upon the shoulders
of volunteer co-Operators, whose homes
and other property are threatened. The
proper care with camp fires, matches
and burning tobacco in the forests will
eliminate nearly fOur-fifths Of the ITO
fires which burn every year and
threaten the forest of the state.
