FIRE SCHOOL
(Continued from Page 1)
the trainees on t lie ground. Small
fires were started in the timber
areas by instructors and then
used to demonstrate the proper
method of control. Mapping and
fire detection classes were car
ried on under actual conditions
which many of the men will find
themselves later on this summer
when the weather warms and the
forest dries out. The proper use
of fire tools and other forest ser
vice equipment was also , ex
plained and put into actual use
by the men.
The Ttipper guard school is
similar to those conducted in all
other national forests. The Hepp
ner district location was chosen
because of its early season acces
sability and because it fulfills
terrain requirements for such a
school.
Due to the wet late spring and
early summer no lookouts are yet
on duty but all have now com
pleted training for their summer
jobs. They will be assigned as
soon as weather requires.
