Salem, Ore., Dec. 20 (U.R)
Forest fires in state and association-protected
territory of Ore
gon burned over a total of 100,
588 acres of land during 1945,
according to a preliminary y-w
ly report of State Forester Nels
Rogers.
The 1045 total acreage burned
was more than the amount burn
ed during the entire preceding
five years, although the numher
. of fires, 823, was smaller this
year than any of the precdlng
five years with the exception oi
1942.
Bolts Main Cau.
Lightning was the biggest fire
bug with 325 fires to its credit
in 1945. Smokers head the list
of man-caused fires with 54
blazes credited to that cimse
Incendiary, which struck mainly
In southwest Oregon, caused 10U
fires, the report said.
Other causes were railroads,
16; logging, 58; slashing, includ
ing debris burning, 49; campers,
42, and miscellaneous, 71.
Fires started by hunters were
not segrated in the report and
are listed among campers, smok
ers or miscellaneous.
The biggest fire of the year, of
course, was the Tillamook-Siil-monberry
conflagration which
burned over 133,000 acres, near
ly half the total burned this
year. The Cronin Creek srea
of the lower Nehalcm river is
not included In the Salmon Til
lamook fire even though it was
caused by spot fires from the
Tillamook blaze, the report
stated.
Polk Fir Large
Polk county's fire in the Wil
lamette Valley Lumber company
operations covered more than
12,000 acres before being
brought under control by serv
ice men, loggers and others.
The 1945 season marks the
first year since 1939 that the
atate has had any major fire.
Only 96,347 acres were burn
ed In the five-year period from
1940 to 1944 inclusive. That is
average of only 19,269 acres
yearly.
Add this year's forest fire de
struction to that and for a six
year overage you got 43,500
acres burned.
