(6) Equipment 



Of the major equipment in use the portable fire-fighting units and hand 

 pumps continue to be the most important. The large mileage of new roads 

 being opened up each year gives the motor truck an ever-increasing importance 

 for the transportation of men and equipment. 



An important development during the season was the use of wireless tele- 

 graphy in the Red Lake District of the Hudson Inspectorate, where four stations 

 were opened, the equipment being assembled, installed and operated by our 

 own personnel for the purpose of transmitting and receiving messages in con- 

 nection with forest fire protection.
