Trained Forces , The forester indicated that the state would have one of the finest and best trained fire pre vention and .suppression forces ever developed by the state and its cooperating agencies. This has been accomplished to a great extent through a program of training which has included not only state men but several groups of loggers. "A new departure," stated Walker, "was the organization of five special groups of organiz ed overhead, each made up of ten specially selected individ uals from the state organization. The men have gone through a course of intensive training de signed for supervisory jobs on the fire line. Each of the groups can be dispatched to assist in any critical situation which might arise on state or associa tion units. ' 'Schools have also been held in Eugene and Medford which have 'been attended by employ ees of the logging operations. The men have been given spe cial training in the various phas es of fire organization that would fit them for positions as foremen of fire fighting crews." Fir Prarantion Another training program has been attended by seasonal and year-long personnel. The groups have been instructed in phases of fire prevention and suppres sion, including lookout service.
