Spring Fire Season
By Wm. A. Tuttle, Forester
Toec&ne District
The annual spring Arc season
in Western North Carolina is now
in full swing. Due to wet weather,
no real fire danger has existed in
this area until the last week or
two. As the weather improves and
sun and wind have their drying
effect on the woods, the danger of
fire increases and use of 'dare in
handling of outside burning must
be emphasized. High winds coup
led with warm sunshine work to
greatly the flamability of
the forest fuel, and fires are more
apt to get loose and out of con
trol resulting in destruction of
valuable woodlands, wildlife and
other resources of the forest areas.
Burning permits are required
for burning between the hours of
midnight and 4:00 P. M. during
fire season and may be obtained
from the Cotmty Ranger of the
North Carolina Forest Service or
from the U. S. Forest Service In
Burnsville.
The fire record on National For
est land in this area has been ex
cellent, with no fires during the
last year. This is due in large
part, to the fine help and coopera
tion of local residents. Their co
operation la greatly appreciated
end Is requested again during the
eortfing weeks of increased dry
ness and fire danjrey.
