A large barn, full of hay
was completely destroyed on
Sunday, around noon, on the
Henry Dobson Farm, near Ep
hesus. When the fire trucks
arrived, the top of the barn
was falling in on the hay
stored in the barn. This was
a hard fire for the firemen
to handle. The only thing that
could be done was to keep
pouring water on the build
ing and contents which took
practically twelve loads of wa
ter. After several hours a
bulldozer was called to the
fire and the hay was spread
out over a pasture and more
water was poured on the hay
to put out the blaze. The
firemen worked faithfully un
til around 6 P. If. before all
the danger was finally under
control.

With Spring finery appear
ing on the trees, another spring
fire season k drawing to a
close in Davie County, and tha
Davie County Forester's Of
fice has reported twenty-two
brush or forest fires during
Mr. Paul J. Bonardi. Davie
County Forester, considers
this a low figure, compared
to some other counties in tha
state, but Mr. Bonardi is quick
to point out that it could hen
been much worse and that tha
county was most fortunate in
having some of its potentially
worst fires burning in areas
where they could be, and »u%
rapidly suppressed.
The largest fire of the spring
season destroyed twenty seven
acres, much of it commercial
forest Others ranged from a
tenth at an acre up. The sad
dest part of the story is that
all but four of the total were
caused by the same thing.. . ,
people burning trash or de
bris. Mr. Bonardi considers tt
an old story of poorly thosen
times and places to burn de
bris, by people not equipped to
control their fire, and soma
under weather conditions al
most sure to have created an
uncontrolled blaze. Many of
them did
People caused all but two of
the fires recorded in Davie
County, so it follows that those
same people could have pre
vented those fires and Davie
County would only have had
two fires with a total loss at
less than two acres.
Mr. Bonardi also compli
mented the local news media
for their excellent cooperation
in publicizing n* burning par
will 11—in in effect until
June 1. He also mentioned tha
response of the county resi
dents in cooperating with tha
Forest Service by securing parr
mits or by waiting until after
four o'clock in the afternoon
to burn.
During the summer months
the Forester's office will be
establishing fire wardens m
different areas of the county,,
who will also be agents for
burning permits. Some of the
Wardens already posted are
Edward Beck, Liberty Church
Road; Claude Beck of Jerusa
lem District; David Essex on
the Lexington Highway; and
J. C. Brigman in the Jerusa
lem District who is also the
County Smoke Chaser. The
Warden for the Farmington
District is Wade Grace, also
Chief of the Farmington Vol
unteer Fire Department Coun
ty residents should become fa
miliar with the names and lo
cations of the Wardens in their
District and may secure that
information by calling tha
Forester's office at 634-5319 gfr
634-5265.
Mr. Bonardi urges all Davie
County residents to continue
to be wary of unsafe fire con
ditions, and if in doubt, call
his office before doing axty
burning. It is wise to remem
ber that people cause most of
the forest fires that destroy
North Carolina thnbarland...»
and those same people can
prevent those fires just aa
easily.
