Women T BE Used
AS Fire Fighters
By Forest Service
WOMEN f. FIGHTERS

/ WOMEN r. l1F1 l. EhS-
WASHINGTON, Jan. - Women
will be on guard with the men
when spring brings the smokers
match and the saboteur's torch back
to the nations war-important for
ests.
Already women are replacing
men in many places as lookouts,
cooks. radio operators and truck
drivers for the crews that beat the
flames out of our critically needed
timber stands. The United States
Forest Service has found them sat
isfactory in these jobs, and Salmon
National Forest, Idaho, reports they
are more careful than men at the
exacting work of packing and re-
packing fire tool units, putting up
emergency rations and repairing
tents and parachutes.
The work these women are going
| into is direct war work, since the
War Production Board has declared
timber a critical war material. The
United States domestic production
of military and industrial grades of
lumber in 1943 will be some four
billion feet short of requirements.
Therefore every foot that can be
saved = from the fires that burn
over 81 million acres of forest and
brush land in an average year
will be one more foot than can go
Into building army camps, naval
ships and the new type of cargo
planes without drawing on import
facilities or our dwindling stocks.
/ Women's work will also release
linen who are vitality needed else
where. Thousands already are gone
from the forests to the army, navy
and marine corps, and others to the
plants that make weapons. Even
while we must deprive one war IN
dustry of manpoWer to keep anoth-
er in operation, we face the normal
expectation that $4,000 mandays
will be required in year to snuff
out forest blazes, and that under
manned logging crews will have to
drop their axes to beat back the
flames.
Womanpower is the answer to
much of this need In addition tc
Jobs women can handle in fighting
fires, they have been found capable
of some work in saw mills. One
company reported women had re-
placed drafted men at operating a
monorail, an electric dollie an cleo
trio saw and other machines
Forest Service officials make it
clear that they do not expect Wom-
en- to substitute for. men extensively
in all fire fighting jobs. But the
government is encouraging women
to offer for work they can do, and
there is plenty of it. The Office Of
Civilian Defense is organizing, I'M
der David P. Goodwin, the Forest
Services assistant chief Of fire con-
troll, Forest Fire Fighters Service.
Triple IFS" soon will be enrolling
both men and women volunteers,
and local defense councils will be
notified when enrolment will be-
gin
The Forest Service itself has been
taking women as lookouts. In some
cases they team up with their hus-
bands to watch the woods. Those
interested in this paying job should
ask their nearest forest ranger, but
officials warn that this is work for
persons familiar with the territory.
This isn't chance for a lot of
people to get free trip to the coun-
try" Goodwin said. 1T is an oppor-
tunity for men and women to guard
