New Forestry Equipment Goes
Into Service In Warren County
The N. C. Forestry Service in Warren County
recently received new fire-fighting equipment that
was much needed.
The service now owns a Case Model 1150 diesel
actor furnished with a fire plow, along with an In
ternational truck-tractor and a "low-boy" style
trailer for hauling the equipment.
According to Allen Norwood, forest i anger at the
local service, the new equipment will help the
Forestry Service reduce the time it takes for them
to respond to a fire. Until now, the service had to
wait for a plow to come from Louisburg.
The machinery will be housed behind the local
station near the fire tower in liberia off N. C. 58.
It can be used to clear a fire line to halt an advanc
ing forest or brush fire. It can also be used for con
trolled burning applications. Norwood said that the
equipment has already been put to use by the serv
ice to install fire lanes.
The funds for the equipment were appropriated
by the 1987 General Assembly. The total cost for
all the machinery was estimated at $142,000.
