With harvest quite well under
way In North Morrow county and
ttriu throughout the county
running fast Hh the past
wrt-k'a warm weather, th threat
of fire U at hand. While we do
not have the lush growth of
rheat grass and other Inflam
mable plants thU year at in
some past year, there l enough
to carry Rood fir If started. In
driving through the county the
past few days ! notice a num
ber tf discs, der and other
equipment that come In handy
for fighting flrea located where
they ore easy to get at In an
emergency- Some farm sprayers
nre out where easy to get at,
while w.me are back In the cor
ner without water In them. A
farm sprayer, regardless of the
pounds of pressure It will pro
duce, Is one of the most effective
means of fire fighting. Every
ranch has a water tank or two
that should be filled with water
If there Is a pick up, truck or
trailer to mount them on. If there
Is no way of transportation the
tank should be located where
they can be easily thrown on a
truck in an emergency.
No harvest crew should have
machines in the field without
several back pumps or small
pressure sprayers. One of our
farmers told me last year that
a three gallon pressure sprayer
can carried on ills combine had
helped him arrest at least one
fire last year and would have
prevented one serious fire the
year before if carried. All of tha
crew should be briefed on what
their part is in case of a fire
in the field.
In case that preventative
measures do not work and a fin
is started most communities will
have a lot of volunteer help. If
a fire starts on the neighboring
farm, look the situation over and
do not go empty handed. If noth
ing else is available a pall of
wet sacks is a helpful fire
quenching tool. It is well to have
some pails or tubs with sacks
soaking throughout the fire
season. If more help is needed,
call this office and we may be
able to route some equipment,
water tanks or other needed sup
plies to the area. Our fire map
in the office lists those facilities
available as gathered in our sur
vey a year ago. If fire occurs
other than during office hours,
call 6-5392 and I would be glad
to do whatever is possible. The
county spray truck Is available
on call. Ed Baker, sprayer oper
ator, has been directed to go
to any fire during the day while
he is out with the spray truck.
He is keeping the truck at his
home in Lexington overnight
and weekends in order that it
will be readily available if need
ed. His phone number Is 3-8110.
As a nart of the volunteer fire
organization set up county wide)
last year the court is now in xne
process of mounting tanks and
pumps on three Jeeps which will
be on call. The plan is to place
these in communities available
on call as soon as they are com
pleted. Morrow County Grain
Growers has a good fire fighting
unit that is generally the first
one out on the job. Inland Chem
ical Service phone number 6
9103, Heppner and Agrl-Chem,
phone 6-5388 or 3-8111 have
