TO PROTECT THE FORESTS OF 

 MAINE FROM FIRES 



A FOREST FIRE 



Kills all growth and makes barren land. 

 Pollutes water supply and endangers our health. 

 Destroys timber that otherwise would be cut and manufactured. 

 Destroys fish and game which means much to the guide and camp 

 owner, also to the sportsman. 



It Pays to be CarefuL 



Look out for all small fires and we will have no big ones. 

 Hunters and Fishermen cause many fires through carelessness, 

 It is a poor woodsman who leaves a camp fire burning. 

 One big forest fire will offset many years of conservation. 



Will YOU Follow These Suggestions. 



DONT throw away burning matches and tobacco; it only takes a 



second to make sure they are out. 

 DONT leave a camp fire burning; build a small one in a safe place 



and use water and earth in putting it out. 

 DONT burn brush or / slash when the woods are dry; talk it over with ' 



your fire warden. 



Care and caution in the woods will add wealth to Maine and will 

 make our State a better place to Kve in. 



The State law in regard to forest fires is strict and it is the doty of 

 every citizen to help enforce it
