State Forestry Predicts Another Severe Season The past two fire season In . uicKun unvn wen severe una 11 appears that the slate In headed Into another, Judging from cur rent conditions, "We are Just Into July and already fire danger Is alarming ly high," nays Ted Maul, Basin laiit state forester In charge of protection. "In normal years we don't get conditions such as this until mid-August." In support of this statement, weather data from the various iiroteetlon districts reveals that burning Indexes are running Into high ratings at numerous weather stations. Another fuctor adding to the situation Is a notable lack of moisture since June 13. Rainfall Is critically Important In main taining fuel moisture, a signifi cant factor In fire control. For Western Oregon stations In par ticular, significant departures from average are noted. The only thing tnm would change the picture would be a period of general rain. And that is highly unlikely at this time of the year. Maul said. Current ly the present push of marine air Is easing fire danger slightly but the loss of fuel moisture continues, only at a slower pace. The only consolation so far Is the fact that less fires have oc curred to date than for the com parable period last year. Light ning has accounted for 107 fires this year as opposed to 220 last year, while man-caused blazes add up to 117 against 254 last year. Early drying along the per iod of fire weather last year ex plains this partially. Perhaps too, people are mindful of the disastrous Oxbow Ridge fire which burned some 43,000 acres last year, Maul said. Mr. and Mrs. Delmer Fellers are visiting with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs Bob Jones, and family during this year' harvest.
