1856 Forest Fires
At Record Low

Forest fire numbers were at
record low last year, although peo-
pie visited and used forest lands
more than ever before, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has an
nOunced.
A total of 14S,4S5 forest fires
were reported in 1856 on private,
state, and federal lands-a reduc-
tiOn of 1896 from the 1855 figure.
Despite this favorable showing in
fire protection, a forest fire was
reported on an average of every
three and one-half minutes in 1856.
improvements noted in 1856 in
cluded progress in forest fire pre-
vention in the south, fewer man
caused fires and a reduction in the
number Intentionally set.
Man-caused fires dropped five per
cent. due largely to organized pre-
ventiOn campaigns carried on by
federal and state agencies, indus
tries, private organizations, and in
dividuals.
Improved equipment and better
methods of fighting fires reduced
the area burned by 1,462,707 acres,
down to 6,605.S94 acres in 1856.
Contributing to this decrease was
the fact that organized forest fire
protection was extended to an ad-
ditional 3,14S.O0O acres. bringing
the 1856 total to about 607, 900, 900
acres under protection.
