2. That east and west slopes throughout the State occupy an in- 

 termediate position between north and south slopes. 



3. That size of average C fires and of all fires varies in the same 

 order and about the same degree that percentage of C fires does. 



4. That percentage of C fires varies directly with per cent of 

 slope, as does size of average fire. 



5. That in the early and late parts of the fire season a very high 

 percentage of all fires occurs on south slopes, while during the peak 

 of the season north and south slopes are about equally represented. 



6. That covering a period of years 62 per cent more fires have 

 occurred on south slopes than on north slopes, 



7. That on the average fires occur on north slopes only 80 per 

 cent as often as on south. 



8. That fires in brush spread more rapidly than those in timber and 

 that this is at least partially responsible for the higher percentage of 

 class C fires on south slopes, on account of greater proportion of 

 brushfields on such sites.
