The Ochoco
National Forest
The annual fire report of the
Supervisor of the Ochoco Nation
al Forest, which has just been
prepared, shows the season just
past to have been the most suc
cessful year in the way of fire
prevention since the National
Forest . withdrawal. While the
rains which fell during the fore
part of September assisted ma
terially in making the record
what it is, up to the time the first
rain fell the situation was much
improved over that of the same
date a year ago, due largely to
the close patrol given by Forest
officers.
The cooperation of the public,
particularly those who seek re
creation in the mountains during
the summer months, has aided
materially in making such a re
cord possible. The people of Or
egon are now fully awake to the
serionsness of the annual loss to (
the industries of the state
through recurrent forest fires
which have destroyed millions
of feet of the finest timber in the
world.
The total area burned over on
this forest was only 855 acres.
The largest fire occurred on the
west side of Lookout Mountain
and burned over an area of 200
acres.
Of the eighteen fires reported,
seven were extinguished before
they had covered an acre of
ground, and the largest one out
side of the 200-acre fire covered
fifty acres before it was put out.
I'uicau ui co ale pcuuimi iu tuat
no two are alike, and each one
must be handled according to its
own peculiar case.
The same thing is true in ref
erence to patroling a large body
of timber land. No hard and
fast set of rules can belaid down,
but the work must be planned in
such a way as to give the great
est amount of protection to that
portion of the area where the fire
danger is greatest. To accom
plish this the ranger must know
occurred from this source in re
mote places, but before they had
covered an acre of ground the
smoke was seen from two lock
out points, and two rangers weie
on the ground with their outfits
within an hour of each other end
the fires were trenched and stop
ped, lustances of this kind tend
to show that the patrol system is
effective and that something B
being accomplished. It is also
interesting to note the decrease
in the number of fires caused by
campers, which shows that the
public is fast learning the danger
from this source. It is most
gratifying to the Forest Service
to note these changes. In sev
eral instances stockmen have
gone out of their way to report
tires, and in two cases small tires
were trenched around by sheep
men before the ranger arrived.
This is the kind of cooperation
: that counts and without which
the rorest Service would be un
able to cope with the fire situation.
