FIRE TOD Wf
Danger! The entire northwest
is noil flaqqed as a critical fire hazard area
.This summer there is enough dead timber lit
tering the forest floor in the Pacific Northwest
to build almost a year's supply of new homes.
Hot winds and low humidity have dried this
blow-down to the ignition point. Right now it's
ready to fuel one of the worst forest fires on
record. If a fire gets started in this debris, mil
lions of acres may be devastated and whole
communities could be burned out.
For this reason, the state forester has closed
much wider areas of both public and private
forest lands to public use. These fire closures
will run through September, and longer if
necessary. They are absolutely vital to preven
tion of a major fire disaster this year.
Your help is needed. Please respect all areas
of closure. Report all "smokes" you see whea
traveling through forest areas.
Whenever possible build campfires only in
facilities provided for them. Make doubly sure
they are out when you leave. Never leave any
fire unattended. Watch matches and cigarettes
more carefully than
"i usual. With wiur
help we can prevent
a major fire disaster
this year and con
tinue to enjoy the
benefits of our forest
resources wood,
water, wildlife, rec-reationandpayrolls.
