3. Before finally leaving any fire, be sure that it 



is out. Don't think, but know! An 

 Extinction, h our spen t a t this time may save 



many hours of fighting later. 



4. Take time to get all the facts about a fire. t 



True dates, correct names and ad- 

 dresses of witnesses, and an exact 

 statement of what happened are important. 



5. Make out and send in your report as soon 



after a fire as possible. It is easier 

 to do so while the facts are fresh in 

 your mind. (See sees. 8, 44 and 47.) 



In your report of every fire tell 



When it started and when it was finally left. 



Where it started, located by roads, streams, towns, 

 mile-posts, stations, etc. 



Who discovered it, and how, giving his address. 



How many acres it burned over, and what sort of 

 land. 



Who owns the land burned and his address. 



How it was started, by whom and for what reason. 

 Give address for individuals; name and number of 

 train or locomotive for railroads; license number for 

 automobiles, etc. (See sec. 49.) 



6. In your bill for every fire, be sure 



That the items on the front of the bill 



181 agree with those on the back in num- 



ber and amount. 



That no charge is greater than is allowed by law. 

 (See sees. 60 to 69.) 



That the name and time of each person paid is 

 given. 



That you tell, after each name on the back (except 

 for fire fighting), what the service was, either pa- 

 trolling, rent of team, lunch, etc. (See sec. 58.) 



That special service charges show when, why and 

 for how long the service was rendered. (See sec. 

 56.)
