The guiding idea is to prevent fires from starting and to put out those that do start What the NATIONAL FORESTS Mean to the WATER USER 37 before they attain any considerable headway. Various means are used to bring home to the general public the seriousness of the fire danger and to secure the cooperation both of local residents and transient visitors.
Lookout stations are established on mountain tops and at other points of vantage for the prompt detection of fires. These are supplemented by ri...ding patrols. Boxes of fire-fighting tools are placed at strategic points.
Roads, trails, and telephone lines are built as means of quick communi- cation. Extra men to serve as fire guards are appointed during the danger season, and the local community is so organized as to make an efficient fire-fighting force available on short notice.
The system has now reached a stage of efficiency where the majority of fires are brought under control before they do any serious damage.
In 1916, for example, 73 per cent of the 5,655 fires on the National Forests were extinguished before they had burned over 10 acres, and only 4.4 per cent caused a damage of more than $100.
