Ranger Barrett advised his fighters of this fact Friday afternoon when he told his men not to take any chances in the young timber where fire can change to any four directions within a matter of seconds. He told the men that already one life had been lost in the valley fighting fire and that nobody was to take a under complete control? Ranger Barrett's answer to this question was plain, "Just as soon as snow falls, otherwise many of the trees will smoulder indefinitely, despite any amount of rainfall." Is the complete forest closure helping the rangers in their fight? It most certainly is according to the ranger, although persons who know all about the closure still insist on going into the woods.

These snags are trees which havc been dead for years and when the fire starts to burn what good wood is left, all of a sudden they snap off without warning. Crews of men working along fire guards are doing nothing other than felling snags which endanger the lives of the fighters. Although most of the fire fighting is done by machines, there are still a number of jobs which require hand operated tools. Power saws, pumps and bulldozers can't do much without the aid of the axe wielding lumberman who must open trails and cut away underbrush. Another familiar sight in the bush is the shovel which perhaps is one of the most effective of all tools as it turns over sod.

This sod is most effective in checking fires which run along the ground.
