Forests Face
Serious Threat
Portland -(UPD- The Pacific
Northwest faces its worst for
est fire threat in history be
cause of last year's Columbus
Day storm, it was emphasized
Monday.
Federal, state and private
forest protection officials
from Oregon and Washington
met here to discuss the prob
lem. Dwight Phipps and Michael
Webster, state foresters from
Oregon and Washington; re
spectively, said the wind
storm blew down enough lum
ber to rebuild every house in
the two states.
They said a slash fire could
result in a holocaust so big
the San Francisco and Chi
cago fires would seem like
match flames.
The storm knocked down
between 9 and 10 billion
board feet in Oregon and 4.4
billion board feet in Wash
ington, the officials were told
by Phipps and Webster.
Phipps said Oregon will
have to double the acreage
normally closed to recreation
if hot weather develops this
summer. That would mean
closure of about a million
acres.
