In cities of the United States fires !are combated) by modern scientific ‘methods but in the extensive forests or our forest reserves, fires must be combated by many means. Some of these devastating fires that cause grief and loss. of many.lives.are caused by the carelessness of perhaps one person who thoughtlessly throws from his car a lihted mgatch, son who goes his way leaving a small eamp fire burning which in less than an hour may grow into a forest fire, that destroys miliions of dollar’s worth of timber. \,.1 think that the efforts of the au,tomobile tourigts and campers must stop the fires. To do this the . thoughtful persons should make it 'a point to be an example _ for the careless ones. I have traveled through many three things I always bear in mind. First, I never throw a burning cigarette.from a car; second, I always see that my camp fire is drenched with water before I leave camp; and third, I always have the reqtired ‘tools on my car to combat small] fires before they become déstructive to large areas. I think if every person did this there. would be” less fires to fight each summer. Ot course, there are many peple wlio set fires so they may fight them and ;receive money for their services. These people are known as “fire bugs’’, and cost the , state and government Many dollars every year’ to make a pretty sum for themselves. {I can . safely say that if I° ever caught one of these persons setting a fire, I would report him to the nearest authority and be rightfully justified for my action.
