"be tc keep in mind the wind - danger . To meet that danger 

 we must make every possible provision that fire willbe 

 detected and reached with every possible speed. I think, 

 we should approach ac much as possible the fire pro-* 

 tection practiced in the largo cities". 



WILSON: We had a fire plan and perhaps we were 

 mure favorably situated than some of the other districts to 

 carry it out, but we followed it closely. There were some 

 small details in the plans which we did not work out but 

 AS a rule it was vory well and I think we are all satis- 

 fied that we had a better patrol system than we have ever 

 had. I think we can truthfully say that as far as our 

 district was concerned we made great progress by follow- 

 ing that fire plan as laid out. Of course, we found 

 several small changes that can be made for another year. 



I consider the plan was 85 percent effective on 

 our district, I had three men and divided the district 

 into three units. Each man had his unit to look after 

 without my having anything to do with it, and we figured 

 that in case one man had an emergency I could 30 to his 

 assistance, and leave the other two men to take care of 

 the district. One man could always be gotten on the 

 telephone* I believe we should have a lookout man on 

 Duncan Peak- 



WHITTUM: I followed the fire plans as near as 

 possible and they worked out all right. There were one 

 or two oases where It did not work out all right but I 

 can see vhere this could be remedied. The only draw 

 back was that we could have used one more man. I think 

 that if we had not had a fire plan and ^one at the 

 matter haphazard re would have had much larger fires. 



BEKILE4AN: T>e fire plans worked out fine with 

 the exception of being short one or twa patrolmen. I 

 might say it was almost perfect. 



BUTTON: We followed the fire plans as much 

 as possible. There was but one slip and that was be- 

 cause our lookout man wao not on duty at ni^ht. This 

 defect was remedied later In the season when we ^ot a 

 telephone line to the lookout point and stationed a 

 man there both day and night. We followed the plans 

 and very successfully. 



MERRILL: We followed the fire plans compiled 

 last winter almost exactly. Some of the minor details 

 were omitted. Tho only criticism I have to ncke is that
