FOREWORD. 



The forest laws of the State are given in full. The 

 following summary is intended to show briefly what 

 provisions are of particular interest to different 

 classes of citizens: 



County Officers. Forest fires can not be suppressed 

 by individual effort. The work must be organized. 

 Organize in your county. The laws give you thi 

 right to appropriate money from the county treasury 

 for the purpose. Have paid firewardens appointed 

 and provide an emergency fund for fire fighting. 

 Many counties do so. They find it pays. 



Have your firewardens clear up dangerous places 

 along roads and trails. 



Timber Owners. Have your employees appointed 

 firewardens, with authority to hire assistance when 

 necessary. If your holdings are too small to warrant 

 the expense, join with your neighbors and share the 

 cost. 



Take care of your slashings. 



See that you have adequate spark arresters on 

 wood or coal-burning engines. 



Caution your employees not to set fires. If the 

 State or county has to fight them, you are liable for 

 the full amount of all expenses incurred. 



Firewardens. Study the forest laws. 



All Citizens. Be careful with fires in timber, grass, 

 or brush. 



Fight fires when called upon. 



Read rules for prevention of forest fires. 



Read instructions to fire fighters.
