New Laws In Prospect To
Govern Lumber Operators
Cutting National Forests
Regulations governing the cutting of timber on the
ational forests are becoming more and more stringent,
Mr. Secretary Sees That All Is Well
1 1 H
especially as far as fire prevention activities are con
cerned. In some cases, however, especially in the state
of Washington, the federal regulations practically paral
lel the state laws. Some proposed regulations have just
been put out by the forest service. These will be dis
cussed, presently, by W. B. Greeley, U. S. forester, and
California timber owners and possibly with other timber
owners elsewhere in the West. While these embrace
most of the old rules some changes are being suggested.
The proposed regulations follow : ,
(1) "Timber Sale Officer Must be Trained in Fire
Control (Mandatory). Men who work on sales exclu
sively, as well as those who work on sales temporarily or
in connection with a district ranger's job must be trained
in fire control. Temuorarv sale employees, such as scal
ers, must be trained in suppression technique by officers
m charge of sales.
(2) "M.iiiiliilory. Kor every iro
jecl sale u fire Plan will be pro-1 specific date will be fixed l.y which
... ., .. ,i.,., ,r. in all machines must he of outside
fire plan for the forest. It in
elude in) the action expected of the
purchaser in case of fire and of
the purchaser in case of fire and
for which lie is responsible under
Section 1", form 202. and (b)
correlation of the duties, responsi
bilities and authority of the pur
chaser, the forests officers on th'e
sale and the district ranger.
(3) "In a forthcoming revisiou
of Form 202. Section IT will contain
a provision that during periods of
fire danger as specified by the for
est officer in charge the purchaser
shall prohibit smoking and build
Ins of camp and lunch fires except
at established camps and such tem
porary camp sites as the forest of
ficer may designate.
. (4) "Caches of fire-fighting
tools must be available on every
large operation so that no crew of
five or more men wiir be working at
greater than a specified distance
from a tool box.
"Discretionary. This is a general
requirement for all operations, but
the district forester may authorize
exceptions for small operations in
regions of extremely low fire dan
' ger.
- "Mandatory. Portable gas
engine pumps and hose must be-re-squired
as standard equipment on all
large operations where surface water
is available. The standard require
ment is one pump and 1.000 feet
of hose wherever 20 or more men
will be working in the woods, dur
ing the fire season.
"Discretionary. The district for
ester may wa'ive this requirement on
sales where water is not available
and in his discretion may extend it
to smaller operations.
(0) "Discretionary. A standard
requirement except as waived by
the district forester will be a mov
ing patrol during the fire season
on portions of the sale area where
work is being conducted.
"Discretionary. The district , for
ester should nft hesitate to close
sale areas to the public during dan
gerous fire seasons. Inflammability
of the area and value of forest and
purchasers' property should be con
sidered. I 8 I "Kor operations where steam
equipment is used the contract must
contain a section providing for shut
down upon notice from the supervis
or of all or any part of the opera
tion without advance notice during
periods of extreme fire danger.
(9) "The complete elimination of
the wood or coal burning boiler is
the only satisfactory solution of fire
danger from steam equipment. As
a matter not open to debate, the
service will require those fuels and
types of equipment which are prac
ticable. "Mandatory. Oil burning locomo
tives must have spark arresters and
must be cleared of wood and coals
before being operated.
"Where it is decided that oil is
a practicable fuel for locomotives
this requirement will not be waived
In connection with purchases of
small amount of government tim
ber, even though it will necessitate
changes in the purchaser's equip
ment. Forester suggests that oper
ators unwilling to comply, cut the
timber during seasons of low hazard.
"Wood or coal burning locomo-Une, who has a contract to build sev
tlves must be equipped with best I en teen miles of railway line from
known spark arresters, and fin
fighting equipment including force
pump, hose and water supply.
"Hoth oil-burning and wood or
coal-burning donkeys must In equip
ped with spark arresters. force' pump
and hose and fire-fighting tools.
"Where oil is not used for fuel,
the lequlremeiit that donkeys ex-1
Imust outside the .(tack will be put
into effect as rapidly an practicable. I
This means thai In writing new
contracts and In modifying existing
contracts, s requirement will be In
"eluded that ail donkeys newly pur
chased must be of outside exhaust
-type. Where continued use of iu-jftdo-exhauat
machines Is allowed -
exhaust type. The same principle
of establishing a date by which only
outside exhausting machines will be !
allowed on national forest lands
will be followed with regard to op
erators who are not now logging
government timber, but who may be
expected to do so in the future.
"Injectors or similar equipment
will not be allowed in place of force
pumps. Watchmen at noon and
night for all wood burning donkeys.
