CALIFORNIA AIRPLANE FIRE 

 PATROL SUCCEEDS 



'J'HIRTY-THREE per cent of the 196 

 forest fires discovered and reported by' 

 that part of the Ninth Aero Squadron 

 operating out of Mather Feld this year 

 were accurately located, according to word 

 sent out by the Forest Service. 



"And 'accurately' in this case means 

 that these locations, given us by the Air- 

 plane Fire Patrol, were all within one- 

 fourth mile of the exact location as later 

 determined by actual surveys on the 

 ground," says District Forester Paul G. 

 Redington. 



"This record, when supplemented by the 

 further facts that an additional 19 per 

 cent of the fires discovered were reported 

 within one-half mile of their actual loca- 

 tions; that 10 per cent of the total number 

 were discovered by the Air Patrol before 

 the rangers knew they existed, even; and 

 that 42 per cent, or 83, of the fires were 

 reported by radio while the ships were 

 in flight, demonstrates beyond doubt that 

 Airplane Fire Patrol in California has 

 been successful," he continued. 



Besides acting as lookouts to detect and 

 report fires, airplanes were used this year 

 to direct fire fighting operations, and to 

 patrol fire lines which had been built but 

 which needed watching to see that the 

 flames did not get beyond control, ac- 

 cording to forest officers. The case of 

 the Mill Creek forest fire on the Lassen 

 National Forest, where 25,000 acres were 

 burned over, is cited as an example. 

 "Here," according to the statement is- 

 sued, "a special reconnaissance plane, 

 equipped with radio and with a forest 

 officer for observer hovered over the fire 

 and actually directed the movements of 

 bodies of fire fighters by wireless messages 

 received right on the fire line. In addition, 

 this plane patrolled, twice each day, some 

 14 miles of completed fire-line from which 

 all men had been removed. If reports from 

 the air showed the line to be clear, the 

 fire fighters were kept at work elsewhere; 

 but if the observer wirelessed in that the 

 fire had broken away, then a force of men 

 was rushed -to the spot and the fire cor- 

 ralled again." 



Since June first, two planes have been 

 operating on fire patrol daily from Mather 

 Field, two from Fresno, two from March 

 Field, and three from Red Bluff. The air 

 patrol has been in addition to the regular 

 Forest Service lookouts- maintained each 

 summer for the last ten years on nearly 

 100 of the higher peaks in the National 

 Forests.
