In connection with forest fire prevention, an intensive survey of forest fire danger con ditions and problems is being made by the Nantahala national forest, Paul H. Gerrard, forest supervisor, announced today. From the survey, which is taking the entire time of one man for. three months, plans will be develop ed to reduce the number of man caused fires and by prompt discov ery of fires and quick suppression work, to reduce the acreage burned. During the past five years there have been 314 man-caused fires on the Nantahala national forest. One fourth of these fires wee caused by farmers burning brush or de-bris and allowing their fires to get out of their control State and federal laws require that residents notify adjoining land owif rs prior to burning brush and that a burning permit must be obtained from state or federal forest service officials before the burning is done. Local residents' will be contacted in the near future to obtain their coopera tion is eliminating these fires. In addition to the government land protected from fire. J. S. Holmes, state forester of North Carolina, with an organization of wardens and guards, is protecting thousands of acres of private for est land throughout the state.
