(6) Equipment 



The use of efficient fire-fighting equipment is of no less importance in forest 

 fire protection than in urban fire protection and considerable expenditure must 

 be incurred each year in this connection. 



In some districts the stock of equipment has almost reached the maximum 

 for normal seasons but in the more northern and western areas, where each year 

 sees some new development, the stock must be augmented. 



With such a vast area to protect, requiring such a large organization, the 

 replacement of worn-out equipment will always be an important factor. 



The following table shows the major equipment purchased during the season 

 and the total in use.
