Caution Hunters
About Carelessly
Starting Fires
With the hunting season now in
full sway, and fire conditions bad
in the forests, hunters, can help
greatly to prevent forest fires if
they will exercise care and caution
while in the woods, it was pointed
out today by Assistant State For
ester W. C. McCormick, in charge
of forest fire control for the De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment.
Approximately 30 per cent of all
the forest fires last year were
caused by hunters, fishermen and
smokers, McCormick pointed out.
The loss from forest fires in North
Carolina last year was approxi
mately $470,000. Thirty per cent of
$470,000 is $141,000, or the amount
of damage done to forest by the
carelessness of those who use and
enjoy them most.
“Nothing will help us keep down
the number of forest fires in North
Carolina as much as the coopera
tion of the hunters and fishermen,”
McCormick said. “There is not a
hunter in North Carolina who
would deliberately start a forest
fire or who does not know the dam
age fires do to game as well as
to the trees. But many fail to
realize that carelessness in throw
ing away cigarettes, cigars,
matches or even pipe ashes may
start large forest fires and fre
quently do. Improperly extinguish
ed camp fires also cause many
forest fires.”
