FOREST FIRES 



BURNING BRUSH or SETTING FIRE in or near 

 the woods IS UNLAWFUL 

 throughout the year in this township 

 WITHOUT A WRITTEN PERMIT from the 

 local Firewarden. Penalty for violation, $50 to $200. 

 A permit is not necessary if the fire is at least 200 

 feet from woodland or growth that may carry 



fire to the woods. Any legal FIRE MUST BE 



WATCHED UNTIL it is ENTIRELY OUT. Penalty 

 for failure, $50 to $200. 



To cause A FOREST FIRE IS A VIOJ 

 OF THE LAW. Penalty, $50 to $200. 

 A Firewarden's permit gives no release. Igno- 

 ranee of the law is no excuse. Poor judgment or mishap 

 relieves no one. 



SMOKERS are warned that dropping lighted matches 

 or tobacco in or near the woods may render them liable to 

 this fine and do unguessed damage as well. 



FIREWARDENS CAN ARREST ANYONE FOUND VIOLATING THE LAW 



Small fires may" grow larger and do your neighborhood 

 much harm. Each fire stopped when small means increased 

 property value to you and your neighbors. Put out at once 

 any that you find, or, if you cannot do so, summon help. 

 All such fire-fighters are paid for their work if 

 the local Firewarden is told of and ap- 

 proves the service within ten days 

 after the fire.
