Fic. 1—A mature forest completely killed by a single forest fire. Cones are 
left on the trees after all needles and small twigs have been burned. Cones 
of Douglas fir, noble fir, and white pine are shown on the trees. Germina- 
tion has been obtained from cones that passed through forest fires. 
Fig. 2.—Silver fir, western red cedar, and western hemlock trees left after logging. If such 
trees are killed by the slash fires, they become a fire menace; and if they are left green, 
they help restock the area, to the exclusion of Douglas fir. They should be cut before the 
first slash fire. If there was sufficient Douglas fir in the original stand, a good young 
growth of that species may be secured.
