B. Small forest fires, extinguished without any extra help or 

 expense, and generally not covering over 5 acres. 



C. Large fires, requiring extra help and expense. 



On the last day of each month every ranger and guard will fill 

 out his monthly fire report on Form 944, using a separate 

 column for each fire, or, if such is the case, writing " Xo fires 

 on District - - during - , 190 ." In case of large 

 Class C fires, the ranger should supplement his monthly report 

 form with a letter. The report on Form 944 should be accom- 

 panied by a township plat or plats (From 974) on whichjaie 

 burile^over^ai'eas are shown in red by the use of a colored 

 pencil. Tf more than one fire is reported, each should be given 

 ;i number, which should appear on the corresponding area on 

 tin 4 map sheet. Before filing in the supervisor's office, the fire 

 report and the accompanying map sheet or sheets should be 

 securely fastened together. The data on the location of burned-^, 

 over _ areas should be transcribed to the working map to be kept 

 m^eachjsi^ 



On January 1 of each year the supervisor should submit an 

 :mnual report on fires, which should cover the twelve months 

 ending November 30. This report should be accompanied by a 

 small scale map of the Forest, showing the location of all areas 

 burned over during the year. This data will be secured from 

 the map submitted in connection with the ranger's report on 

 Form 944. 



EXPENDITURES FOR FIGHTING FIRE. 



Every supervisor is authorized, in person or through a subor- 

 dinate, to hire temporary men, purchase tocls and supplies, and 

 pay for their transportation from place to place to extinguish 

 alj're. NcTexpense for fighting a fire outside a Forest must be 

 ^incurred unless the fire threatens it. 



The cost of fire fighting, when properly entered on Form 99, 

 will not be charged against the supervisor's letter of authoriza- 

 tion for general expenses, but will be paid from an allotment 

 reserved by the Forester for that purpose.
