Fires starting in and around privately own ed property have been one of the big sources of serious loss es in recent years, they said. Serious hazards during the summer season are dry grass, weeds, concentration of trash, and Improper burning of ref use and trash in and around buildings. Home hazards are concentrations of Inflammable material, improper wiring, over-loading of electric cir cuits, improperly built and maintained chimneys, and terra cotta flues or stovepipes stuA through wooden roofs. During the past years several homes and 200 acres of tim ber have- been lost by fires caused by faulty stovepipes, according to the forest service. The responsibility for fire prevention on private land rests on the shoulders of the property owners, forest serv ice officials said. There have been, cases where the land owner was held responsible for a fire where fire hazards were known to exist on his property, even though they themselves did not start the fire. Trash burning in other than covered containers is for bidden during fire season. Not Adequate Rangers Wilson and Lili gren have emphasized that since rural areas such as Tiller and Dreiy have no organized fire protection, fire preven tion measures are extremely important. Although forest service equipment responds to calls their equipment is not adequate for home fires. They have no large portable water supply, since their object is suppressing fires on .forest land. Then too, at the time a fire breaks out the Forest Service equipment could easi ly be an hours drive away; either on another fire or on patrol. According to the forest rangers the best fire protec tion is a large water supply with at least a lV4-inch pipe and hose fittings. They also recommend individual fire ex Crater Yell Squad Members Elected Central Point The Crater High school yell squad for the coming year was elected re cently.
