SIX Warden Reports On Work Of Year County Fire Warden Dawson Jones Makes Detailed Report To Members Of Board Of County Commissioners R e I a tive To Fire Prevention Following- is the report of County Fire Warden Dawson Jones to members of the Board of County Commissioners relative to work done in preventing forest fires during the past eleven months: To the board of county commissioners of Brunswick County: "As County Forest Warden 1 wish to submit the following report covering my activities for the first eleven months in this fiscal year as these activities relate to your county's co-operation in forest fire control under Q trmomfnt with yyui wvpjiawTv the forest service of the state department of conservation and development. During these eleven months the following has been accomplished:? "1. 18 district wardens are now under appointment. "2. 902 sawmill operators, farmers and other residents of the county were interviewed by me regarding forest fire control. "3. In the conduction of my work I traveled 17,536 miles by automobile. "4. There are now under signed agreement 18 special fire fighting crews. "5. These 18 crews are made up of four men each. "6. During the period of this report 1 steel lookout tower was constructed in the county without cost to the county. Same being purchased from Emergency Conservation funds and erected with CCC labor, without cost to the county. "7. There is now a total of 3 lookout towers in the county, 2 having been previously built. "8. 4% miles of telephone line were constructed this fiscal year for reporting fires from towers to the wardens. The cost of this construction was also borne by the Federal Government and since there had not been any telephone lines previously constructed, there is to date a total of 4 % miles in the county. "9. There are no combination living quarters and garages in the county constructed by ECW but there are plans for the construction of two. "10. The CCC camp has constructed 6 miles of roads within the county without cost to us, along with ten completed miles of fire line constructed by them and also a few miles of fire line that is partially completed. "11. We have brushed, stumped, logged and snagged 38 miles of fire line, same being on one side of road and other places being on both side of road, these lines being approximately 50 ft. wide, all of this work having been done by FERA under the supervision of the county warden. "12. 39,000 acres of private forest lands have been listed with the state by landowners and placed under intensive protection, thus relieving the county of a large portion of the cost of the protection of these lands and allowing us to use our funds elsewhere. -These landowners pay an assessment rate of 2c per acre which is matched by an equal amount of State and Federal funds. "13. We now have in the county 86 especially constructed portable knapsack fire pumps used in spraying water on woods fires. These pumps were purchased from joint county and state funds. There are 32 rakes, 32 swatters. 2 B Fire Torches, and 4 trailers. "14. 99 woods fires occurred in the county this fiscal year burning a total area of 15,574 acres. The average area burnec per fire was 157.31 and the ave rage cost per fire was $5.82. "15. 9 parties responsible foi violating the State fire law! were prosecuted and 7 were con victed, 2 being acquitted. Two o: these were given 30 days on thi road and total amount of fine! was $64.00 "There was $38.15 cost collec ted from responsible parties fo 7 fires.
