Reserve Flreilghtors
Tho primary ohjuctlvo of tlio
reserve is to linvo readily uvull
nlilu a slr.uhlo source of mini-
powor to bu culled by tho respon
sible protection iiKiMicli'M when
unci IC Ilia fil'o loud becomes too

when tholr flro luminous become
more thim they ciiii hundlo ef
ficiently, und thul In about till
there, In to tho formality of en
rollment. 11 Is believed thai all
(torus, offices und other busi
ness establishments In Klamiith
Fulls can well spuro ono or sev
eral employees from their duties
for rolutlvely short periods of
llino In order that they may Join
In curb-Inn u destructive demon
which would literally bo n men-
nco to them und their commun
ity, und It is also believed thai
they would enjoy an opportunity
to net out In tho forest even
thotiKh they w.111 find tlio work
Involved quite different from
their customary duties.
How Reserve Called
Thero uro two predletublc
situations hi the forests which
would "nctlvulo" tho reserve:
first, al the time of n ixirllculnrly
heavy lluhluhiii "bust" mid sec
ond, when a flro has attained or
ll looks ns if It will reach con
fhiunitlon proportions,
In tho event of heavy llKhlnlnu
storms, when fires started arc
beyond tho capacity of tlio pro
tection agency to hundlo, culls
will be mudo for lookouts, smoko
chuscrs and firefighters to lend
hand until tho loud litis boon
reduced to volumo proortlon
Bio to tlio personnel und re
sources of tho oucney to hundlo.
Tho rcscrvo will renlly come
Into pluy in tho event of a con
flagration or a bill fire. Tho re
sponsible ngoiicy will cslimnto its
maiiowcr needs, requisition tlio
typo and number from tho roster
of tho reserve. This roster will
be complied from tho nppllcii'
lions of enrollment and It will be
maintained and munpower dis
patched from it by ono agency In
Klumuth Kails. Such a system
facilitates tho .procurement of
manpower when it .is most ur-
licntly needed, thus spuring the
protective agency viiluublo time
and facilities it would require to
contact firefighters individually
When it responsible protection
nuency requisitions men from the
rosier of thoso who huvu jilc.nl
fled availability at that purlieu
lur time und when those requisi
tioned report to tho uttcnoy for
duty, they will bo employed by
that agency us tiny other fire
filthier und paid the prcvnilhiK
utiles of wanes, which nre uni
form in tho several agencies.
Members of the reserve who no
on "active duty will bo released
from tho flro Just us soon
prticllcublo und feasible, or when
tholr absence from their r ocular
employment becomes a hardship
or conflicts with u greater con
tribution to tho war effort.
