Forest fire losses on lands un der the jurisdiction of the state forestry department and its co operating protective association during the 1953 fire season was only $29,831, the smallest figure since 1930.

This entire amount, with the single exception of $180 which represented log loss, was in log ging equipment. The largest fire occurring dur ing the season covered 202 acres of land. This is the first time in the history of the forestry depart ment that the largest fire for any one season has burned over such small acreage.
