Wilsons Men's Wear The Store of Personal Service Mtmltr MJt-T-Mtuml Cutli STATE FIRE SEASON STARTS APRIL 1; LAWS OUTLINED BY DEPARTMENT The closed season on the use of fire on private and public lands is in effect April 1 and some of the basic requirements as set forth by law are here summer ized through the courtesy of the state board of forestry. Burning permits are required for burning brush, grass, grain or stubble or other debris on or within one-eighth mile of a forest land. The service states that many dollars a year would be saved if the people who wish to burn would get their permits to do so before any burning is done, or if they live outside or adjacent to the protective bound ary, would phone 112 Kinzua and notify the state forestry office of intent to burn. By giving noti fication beforehand the forestry service would not have to shift personnel and equipment where they are not needed and would save time and tax money. The following list includes some of the basic requirements that apply to logging and saw mill equipment and operations. 1 Operator must have logging or sawmill operation permit be fore operation is started. Permits are required each year. 2 Sufficient fire tools must be provided at each landing to equip the entire mill or woods crew for fire fighting. 3 A tool box, painted red and marked For Fire Only, provided with hasp and hinges so that the box may be sealed, is required. 4 Provide a one and one-half quart fire extinguisher on each gas or diesel engine used In log ging or sawmilllng. 5 Provide adequate spark ar resters on all gasoline engines. 6 Each power saw must be equipped with not less than an 8 oz. pressurized extinguisher and one shovel with not less than a 36-inch handle. 7 No smoking while working in or traveling in or through any operation or slash area. 8 All trucks transporting for est products over forest roads shall be equipped with not less than one shovel, one axe and a one and one-half quart fire ex tinguisher. All fire tools to be kept In good repair and ready for Instant use. Portable welder units used in a forested area to be equipped the same as trucks 9 Each sawmill operating in or within one-eighth mile of for est land shall heve not less than four barrels of not less than 50 gallons capacity filled with wa ter, with one bucket of not less than two gallon capacity on each barrel. Barrels and buckets to be kept at mill and barrels to be kept filled with water through out the fire season. The state forestry department states the good cooperation of the public in the past has been appreciated and has helped to minimize forest fire losses. In 1956 the Kinzua unit had 38 reportable fires, three being man caused and 35 lightning caused. About 15 camp and warning fires were taken care of by state per sonnel. 1 he five units of the Cen tral Oregon fire district had some 180 fires last year. For their cooperation and help, Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, March the state forestry personnel ex tend their thanks to the ranch ers, Heppner Pine Mills, Kinzua Corp. and the U. S. Forest Service. - o Water Forecast Meetings Planned; Snowpacks Down Final forecasts for Oregon's 1957 irrigation water supplies are scheduled in a series of nine re gional meetings, March 27 to April 5, with preliminary surveys pointing to below normal snow- packs in many areas.
