fires, as near as I 
can find out. It 
burned over an 
area of 15 or 16 
acres of old burn, 
doing no damage 
to the green 
growth. It was 
exceedingly dry 
at this time of 
season, but we 
fought it by 
trench and water. 
It was all out by 
the 19th and a 
big rain followed. 
On Sept. 22nd 
I was notified of 
a fire at Arbo

wood Co. again 
rushed all the 
men from their camps to this fire. It was out by night. I went 
there at once and found that this fire was in old cuttings and 
did no damage to the woods, but burned a little pulp. The cause 
of this fire is unknown. 
On January the 30th I went to Island Falls and bought a gaso- 
line motor boat for the Forestry Department and hauled it to Grand 
Lake Sebois. This boat has a six-horsepower Grey engine; I have 
found this boat a great help, as Grand Lake Sebois is six miles 
long and we had nothing but an eighteen-foot canoe to use for fire 
purposes. On February the eighteenth I began to build boxes to 
store fire-fighting apparatus in for use in their several places. . 
I built five good pine boxes 8 feet long by 2 feet 6 inches wide by 
2 feet 8 inches high. I painted them red and put them in the 
following places: One at McCarty Camp at 5, Range 11; one at 
Young spruce left after diameter limit cutting.
