Such a man isJerry Wasley of Grass Valley, a sophomore forestry major at Sierra College and a man who hopes to make the U.S, Forestry service his career, The son of Mr. and Mrs, George Wasley of Grass Valley, Jerry has served six seasons with the forestry men, the last two at White Cloud station in Tahoe forest, where he currently is a “helitack" foreman, Three years with the helicopters fighting fire has convinced Wasley that they are inva luable in preventative fire fighting, known as presuppression. The largest fire on the west side of Tahoe has’ been 12 acres this season, with Wasley definitely crediting the control difference to ‘copters. The "helitack" crews have made 35 attacks on small fires--mostly lightFROM CURNOW HALLS INSURANCE

Two-man crews are cartied from White Cloud by Pilot Bob Hine of Sunnyvale in the Bell G3-B ‘copter to as Close to fires as possible. With Wasley are one of a crew of three, either Russ Murray of Daly City of Terry Marlo or Cart Bader of Grass Valley, Both of the initial attack crew are equi pped with smoke chaser kits which include tools, water, food, safety equipment and chain . Saw equipment, all of which weighs about 150 pounds, , Usually the ‘copter lands as near the fire as possible, but if schrub brush is too thick, the fire fighters may have to jump from a hovering helicopter to the ground from a height of nomore than 10 feet, Each crew man is dressed in jump suit, heavy boots and helmets. According to Wasley, the only injuries received by fire fighters using the technique developed by Camp Pendleton Marines eight years ago has been a pair of broken thumbs, “Helicopters are safer than planes or cars," he insists, Fellow crewmen report little fear of thecrafts, despite the “open” feeling one gets sitting in the plastic "bubble" cockpit. The most exciting feeling in a ‘copter, Wasley explains, is that of free fall when the copter drops into canyons or from heights in New School Schedule For Army MARYSVILLE--M/Sgt Elden . H.

The Forestry service leases ‘copters and pilots. Those at White Cloud are from Rick Helicopters of San Francisco, Because of the speed required in getting to small fires, most helitack crewmen are young, like Wasley ‘< Murray, Marlo and Bader. Marlo, like Wasley, will be a forestry student under exranger Ed Bailey at Sierra College this year. Murray will study at the University of Oregon. Incidentally, ten of Bailey's forestry students were with state or federal forestry agencies this summer in Nevada, El Dorado or Placer counties, Helitack crews and copters also are well known in the state fortheir rescue work in bringing out injured hunters and woodsmen. NEVADA CITY ---Scientists from the U.S. Forest Service Experiment Station in Berkeley are teaming up with fire control specialists of the Tahoe National Forest totake the pulse of a series of test fires on the Truckee Ranger District. Equipped with a wide array of newly designed electronic equipment, they hope to measure for the first time just what conditions prevail when a forest fire burns during dangerous fire weather, "Because of the importance of this research to forest protection in California, the test fires are being conducted although a ban on burning permits will continue in effect on the Tahoe Forest, " Supervisor Henry Branagh, announced, "All test fires will be within the area previously burned over by the Donner Ridge fire of 1960," Clive M. Countryman, senior scientist in charge of fire behavior studies at the Experiment Station, isin charge of the experimental work, Scientists fromthe Engineering Department of the University of California at Los Angeles are working with Forest Service scientists in measuring results of the test fires, Countryman was recently named as the head of the new forest fire laboratory now under construction at Riverside, He explained that the test fires on the Truckee District are part of the laboratory's plans to conduct field studies in several California forest areas, Their aim is to bring a greater degree of precision to predictions of fire behavior, “Most such information", SACRAMENTO: 4777 AUBURN BtVD he said, “is how based on limited knowledge of actual conditions, or on studies dur ing “safe” burning conditions, In the Tahoe tests forests scientists will measure the rate of fire buildup in rela.tion to wind, temperature, humidity and fuel characteristics, They will also gather data on in-drafts of air around the fire. perimeter and the output of noxious gasses from the fire, "The development of compact space-age instruments has made it possible to measure such factors with much greater precision than has been possible in the past", Countryman said. “Data gathered in test fires such as these will eventually give fire specialists more accurate means of predicting fire weather danger, rate of spread, and other conditions affecting the effectiveness and safety of firefighters”. If the right weather conditions prevail, the first fire in the experimental series will be staged next week. T his is to be a small-scale fire in which instrumentation and study methods will be thoroughly checked out, Subsequent fires in the study program willbe of gradually increasing size, All possible means are being taken to insure that the test fires will not escape. There will be a helicopter in the air and air tankers will be loaded and ready to take off at a moment's notice, The 32-man Hobart Mills Suppression crew and three ground tankers will be on standby in the area, « AUBURN: B90 EAST LINCOLN WAY GRASS VALLEY: 710 NEVADA ITY KWY, YUSAL CITY, }49g FRANKLIN ROAD MODESTO F186) VOstaute Btyp.
