Foresters Learn
New Techniques
Of Fire Fighting

Most forest fires are the result
of human errors, Joseph Kaylor,
director of the Maryland Depart
ment of Forests and Parks, said
Tuesday morning in opening the
annual forest fire training session
at Harrington Manor.
He stressed the Importance Of
fire protection in the woods and
pointed out that water conserva-
ton and protection of watersheds
is another vital job of everyone.
He said it was of particular i'm
portance to protect land along
streams in order that the land will
act as a sponge in retaining rain
fall.
The purpose of this annual seS-
sion, he said, was to eliminate hui
man error as far as possible.
Col. Peter Wander Lugt, of An
napolis, property custodian and
safety officer, said that it is every
ones job to be careful in the woods
and noted the increasing number
of persons working in forests,
which caused a corresponding in
crease in fire hazards.
H. c. Buckingham, state forester
confined his talk to personnel
management and general admins
tration problems of the depart
ment.
Later in the day the maintenance
and operation of various pumps
used in fire fighting was demon
strated, as we'll as new product
for fire retardment.
Yesterday morning, the foreSters
got a review of the campaign fire
manual and learned how to organ
ize for larger forest fires. In the
morning, the men practiced on the
suppression of fires and how to at
tack them.
In the afternoon, the. fOresters
built a mock fire area and exc
cuted a plan to fight the fires with
men and equipment. A back fire
was controlled by tanker trucks
and another section of the fire
line was built by tractor pillow units
About 125 foresters attended the
opening sessions of the training
program, which will continue
through tomorrow.
