FIRE FIGHTING JOB
ONE FOR A FINISH
' The extraordinary favorable fall
of mild weather has resulted, a?
hoped, in a much less disastrous fire
saeson than is usually the case. Delayed
frosts kept the wobds and forests
green much longer than usual,
with the result that the usual period
of drought did not provide the Under
of fallen leaves. Since fronts
Icame rains have increased and much
timber that would have been subject-1
J ed t?> fire in ordinary couse has escaped.
While the mild fall has been larpiy
responsible for this gratifying
condition, reports to the Forest Dcraitment
of the Survey indicate that
the fire prevention forces in the cooperating
counties have been ve.y
diligent and efficient. In a remarkable
number of cases it is -hown that
when fires started they were cxtin
guished after burning over nig'.igibie
areas of from one-half acre to an
acre and a half, the damage? being
nominal In almost every or.e of the
Instances, the early concentration
and < ffective action of the wardens
acted as a preventive of a fire that
was getting headway to work serious
harm. The total of property saved
through this prompt fashion of performing
duty is incalculable.
"Three Bite* at Cherry"
There were, however, several reports
of a neglect to follow through
x job well begun that can serve as
warning to all fire-prevention forces.
In these cases fires had started, the
wardens had organize d and put them
under control, only for new fires to i
start from smouldering embers. ,
For instanse, a typical fire of this|
kind started in Mont ford's Cave
Towr.-hip in McDowell County, on
November 12. It was promptly reported
and attacked and yielded to
tht. efforts of two men working a
total of three hours. The estimated
| damage to one acre ourned over was t
; only ?4.
But on November 13, fire wiich
started from the remnants of the
first blaze burned over tw? nty-five I
'acres, doir.g damage of $100 and re-'
quiiing hours of work on the part
of four men to bring it under con-'
trol. and on November 10 still ac.- j
other fire started from the first two
which required a total of 21 men
working an average of two hours to
bring it under control.
The contrary practice was shown
by the action of the warden at Black
j Mountain, who after extinguishing j
j a small fire which Iturmd two or
three acres in the mountains took the
j precaution to leave one deputy ??d
a helper te watch the burned area
1 throughout the night, with th?> result!
. that the fire, once "put out' , "stay-1
: cd put."'
Correct Fire Pract-ce
In every business it is a problem
! of management to inspire in the ot'-j
j ficers and employees generally the
I spirit of sticikng to the particular J
j task until it is definitely concluded. I
i Most things are easy to begin and!
j most men carry on efficiently when'
' there is something deffinite to to at-]
tack. It is, however, far more diffl-1
! cult to secure the service of thor-j
ougknes * which leaves r.o odds and
I ends left over to be picked up, re-,
assembled or corrected after the job
finely begun should have been put
in the cla?s of finished business.'
In the science of forest fire preven-j
tion this virtue of sound caution Is

Moonshiner*' Smoke Screen
In sharp contrast to the
in Buncombe County is that disdoned
in the South Mountain tion of
Burke where on the outbreak of s.
large fire that burned over several
thousand acies with largo ^Tmirt
the warden found the peoj , not oniy
indifferent to aiding in it- control,
but actually "favoring"' the fire, la
one case this peculiar brand of ig.
no ran e was li played l?v . ma p who
owned the land over which the fire
was spreading, and tin- fire itself
may well have been intentionally
started with the idea of permitting
it t? burn itself out.
One theory supposed to support !
such a de-.tructive practice is thst
the feitst will be fired in , event
and that being true it is better that
fire should come in the f than in
the spring wnvn the sap is rising in
the Wood. Another is that in a section
in which "moonshining is somewhat
o fan established industry, it is
supposed that with more or less continual
fires in the woods, the
"smoke"' from the various illicit
"stills" will not he the tell-tale sign
