e o ; . ' 11 rv WW'- ft TREACHEROUS ond difficult to control, a rampant grass fire is the dread of firemen. Whipped by wind, it dances swiftly, ruthlessly and pell mell ooross a field. Roseburg Fire Department is urging property owners to burn off hazardous grassy or weed areas. Photo above was taken Local Firemen Offer Grass Burning Advice The danger of fire outbreak on vacant lots and on fields over grown with weeds and grass is unusually acute in Roseburg this summer, Fire Chief LeRoy Siebold warned today. The Fire Department has been summoned to fight several grass fires already this summer and prevalent weather conditions in dicate continuation of a high fire danger level, said the chief. He reminded residents that burn ing permits to burn off grassy and weed areas are available from the department. Burning is restricted, however, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It is suggested that owners of vacant property which is located on reasonably level ground can cut, rake and burn the area under ordinary circumstances without dif ficulty. If assistance is needed, residents may contact the fire de partment. ' Burning grass on hill slopes is more difficult, Siebold noted. Prop erty owners should strip the area to, be burned, as a safeguard, cut ting a suggested, 10-foot fire trail around the area of the burn. Fires under permit are allowed only when the property owner has indicated he will have an ade quate water supply (able to reach any point around the fire; and adequate manpower to keep it un der control. The volunteer fire organization is conducting a grass burning pro gram as a community service again this year. The work is done on a donation basis. Haiard Reduced Siebold said the program is help ing reduce the fire hazard. Volun teers, along with off-duty fire de partment members, are turning out three and four nights a week to burn lots at property owner re quest. No charge is made for the work but donations are accepted. Any money received by the volunteers goes into the Volunteer Fund. In addition to helping the com munity eliminate fire hazards, the service has the further benefit of providing important training for fire personnel. "It's good experi ence for them," said the chief. "They learn first hand the be havior of grass fires and how to control them." . . Four More Big ,"; Sawrnills Close PORTLAND (UPD Permanent closures of four more large saw mills in the Douglas fir region have added to the economic de spair of the industry, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association said Thursday. The association said the latest closures threw hundreds out of work at Bradwood, Ore., and at Seattle, Raymond and Aberdeen Wash. The association also cited the recent temporary shutdown of the Georgia - Pacific mill af Toledo, Ore. Vice president C. C. Edgett said some 200 sawmills have shut down since Canadian lumber im ports started squeezing northwest lumber out of United States mar kets.
