Serious Range
Fire Hazard In
Eastern Montana

Thousands of acres of range
land have been burned in eastern
Montana during the past six
weeks. One fire near Knowlton
burned for more than a week
before it was snuffed out. Several
fires were caused by lightning but
most were man caused. From now
until winter the fire hazard will
be even greater because scores of
city folk will invade the ranges in
search of big game and upland
birds. Many of these people have
formed habits of tossing lighted
cigarette butts in cutters, on side
walks and on floors in public
places. In all probability they will
dispose of their smokes in the
same manner while hunting. Many
travellers flip lighted cigarette and
cigar butts from automobiles, even
though manufacturers have pro
vided ash trays. Many farmers
and rancherS are inclined to burn
trash, weeds and fence rows dur
ing dry periods. Frequently these
small fires get out Of control and
burn over many acres of valuable
grass and crop land.
What can the farmer and ranch
er do to protect himself from fire
losses? Fortunately much can be
done. Fire guards should be built
along highways, railroads and
trails. Fire fighting equipment.
such as shovels, swatters and back
pack pumps, should be kept on
every farm and ranch. This equip
ment should be conveniently To-
Gated, protected from the weather.
and used only for fire fighting.
Weed sprayerS, plows, one-ways
and other tractor drawn equip
ment also make excellent fire
fighting tools. These should be
ready to go during the fire season.
Hunters should be cautioned
about smoking and camp fires by
the landowner before permission
is given to hunt on private ranges.
II 1t is necessary to burn trash
or weeds, fire fighting equipment
should be on hand before the fire
is started. A fire line constructed
around the area to be burned
would also be in order.
County Commissioners in some
counties have declared a closed
fire season. Persons desiring to
burn must obtain a permit to do
SO in these counties. County COM
missioners in all eastern Montana
counties should seriously consider
closing the season in their respec-
tive counties this year.
If everyone is extremely care
full and if all precautions are ia
ken, fire losses will be held to a
minimum. Help keep Montana
green"
