Smokey Bear Hibernates

Smokey Bear has gone into hibernation with the coming of rain and snow in the California national forests. The same storms that sent the Fire Prevention Smokey Bear into hibernation has made it possible for the Forest Service to close the long dry fire season. Forest rangers are closing the mountain top lookouts and reparring and storing fire-fighting equipment for the winter.

The area lost by forest fires on the national forests was far less than normally expected, according to M. M. Nelson, Regional Fire Chief for the U. S. Forest Service. He stated that only 17,000 acres were burned as compared with ten times that amount in 1951. The number of forest fires, however, was 1,900 which is more than usual. This was because the season had so many lightning storms. There rvere 700 man-caused fires which showed an improvement from past years. But the number of caielessly caused fires is still far too great, Nelson said.

The Forest Service reported an especially good year for the Northern California forests. There was only one fire which exceeded 1,000 acres, this on the Shasta National Forest. The total burn for all of the "timber forests', was 6,500 acres, burnecl bv over 1.600 fires.
