Annuol Forest Fire R.oundtoble Develops Strong New Methods

Eureka, Calif.-New developments in forest fire prevention, cletection, and suppression were discussed at the third annual Forest Fire Roundtable held at Benbow Inn, June 12, under the sponsorship of the Redwood Region Conservation Council. The Roundtable is sponsored annually by the Council to provide discussion of common fire problems among industry, state, and federal foresters and fire fighting personnel'

Several timber operators in the Redwood Creek area northeast of Arcata have formed an informal cooperative fire fighting agreement, according to Larry Marshall, Dolly Varden Lumber Company logging manager, Arcata. Timber operators in the area exchange lists of fire fighting equipment and have an understanding to pool men and equipment in case of fire in their common area. I-ast year, Marshall said, the agreement hacl a chance to prove itself when a hot fire started on one company's land on a Sunday afternoon and was brought under control the next day through combined efforts.

Fire weather forecasts in the north coast area were recommendecl to be continued on a daily basis during the fire season by the Rouncltable participants, according to Earl l\{adray, Six Rivers National Forest dispatcher and fire weather forecaster at Eureka.

Harvey Zink, Six Rivers National Forest fire control officer at Eureka; \Alilliam Siler, State Division of Forestry ranger at Fortuna, and A. H. Merrill, Hammond Lumber Company forester at Samoa, participated in a panel discussion on fire protection problems. Stuart Schick, State Division of Forestry, Santa Rosa, presented an outline of the legal problems of a typical fire.

Improved distribution of fire prevention materials, continued anci more widespread use of aerial patrols in spotting fires, and use of prison labor camps for fire fighting personnel were discussed by the panel. Siler reported that a 30-man prison labor camp would be set up August 1 at High Rock near Garberville, to fight forest fires when needed.

frinity ond Shqstq Become One Consolidqfed Foresf

The Trinity and Shasta National Forests in Northern California u'ere administrati\.ely consolidated Jul1. 19 int<r a combined forest, u'ith headquarters located in Redding. acccircling to a statement just released bv Clare Hendee, regional forester of the California I{egion of the U.S. Forest Service.

The Goosenest District of the Shasta u.ill become a part of the Klamath National Forest, u.ith l.readrlrr:Lrters in Yreka, Calif. Tl-re balance of the Shasta and the Trinit,v n'il1 be con.rbined into one adminstrative unit to lte knon.n as the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Parri \\'. Stathem, lecently named superu'isor oi the Shasta, l'ill be in charge of the neu'lv consolidated urrit. Stathem:rnd a skeleton force u'ill establisl.r the Retlding office immediatelv. The transfer of other personnel u'ill be l'orked ()ut as soon as cclnvenient.

This consoliclation is a continnation of a lorrg established policy of the Forest Serr-ice directed towar(1 providing better serr.ice to forest rlsers, says N{r. Hendee. -\t the same time, economies and efficiencv in management can be cffectecl bv reducing clverhead costs. Resultant savings u-ill be used to expand mucl.r needed fielcl operations and services.

Changing ltatterns of use, combined rvith impror.ed transportation and communications since the estaltlishn.rent of forests in the early 1900's, necessitate acljustments in national forest administration to meet present day standards o{ economy and efficiency in management of these pubiic forest lands. During the past tn'o vears, simiiar consolidations have been made in other regions r.vherebv 16 national forests have been comltined into eight administratir.e units.

Redding rvas selected as headquarters of the neu'shastaTrinitl' National Forest becanse of its grou'ing importance as the center of industry and other forest user business in Northern California. Forest Service ecluipment, supply and construction services for all of Northern California forests are no\\' located in Redding. Existing government facilities u'il1 be used for the nen' forest headquarters. Former forest headquarters facilities at NIt. Shasta and \\ieaverville n'ill serr,'e as ranger district and project heacl(l rlarters.

Cqlifornio Boqrd of Forestry Commends Redwood Associqtion

The California State Board of Forestry, recognizing the public relations proltlems u'hich the timber industry of the ltedrr'oricl region has experienced in the past, has expressed to the California lledrn'ood Association its appreciation for the type of rvork and program presently being conducted ; ernd especially commended Ben Allen and his staff for their u,ork in helping to establish ancl carrv on the u'<;rk of the Re<lrvood Circles and the fire prevention u'ork o{ the ltedn'ood Region Conservation Council.

General Nfanager Philip T. Farnsrvorth of the California Redu'ood Association made the follol'ing reply:

The California Redn'ood Association and its staff cleeply aupreciate the action rvhich the State Boarcl of Forestry took at its June 25 meeting in passing the resolution commending the n'ork of the association and the Redrvood Region Conservation Council.

We consider ourselves fortunate in having had a man of Ben Allen's uniclue abilities to rvork out this program. \\'e u.ish, hou.ever, to point out that had it not been for the sympathy ancl understanding of the Board and the f)epartment of Forestry it might not have been possible to make the program succeed, let alone advance so far in so short a time.

Please convey to the board our appreciation of their action and our thanks for the verl' effective help 'rvhich thel' as individuals and as a group have given.
