One of these laws deals with open-air fires and reads in part; "A fine up to one hundred dollars for leaving an open-air fire unextinguished, and liability for the cost of fighting fires which originate from such open-air fires" (Section 545-a, Chapter 28, Code of 1936). Each county has a separate fire-fighting organization headed by a chief forest warden, who is responsible for all the fire-prevention and fire-suppression activities in his county that come under the direction of the Virginia Forest Service. Serving under the chief forest warden are a number of local forest wardens, each with a crew of fire fighters selected from his neighbors who have agreed to help suppress any fires when called. There are also a number of emergency crews in each county that have been trained and equipped with ftre-fighting tools. Among these are the high school boys, trained under the "Keep Virginia Green" program, and crews from the sawmill and other wood-using industries. In most counties through which The Appalachian Trail passes there is a lookout tower which is kept manned during fire weather to watch for and report all fires to the warden organization. The wardens have all been equipped with an outfit of fire-fighting tools, consisting of backpack pumps, bush hooks, axes, rakes, crosscut saws, shovels, and Pulaski tools. On large fires, when needed, there are several power pumps available. There are two different methods used in lire lighting in this area, direct and indirect. The direct attack is used when the fire is burning slowly and the fire fighters can get on the burning edge and either push the fire back into the burned area or rake the unburned material away from the fire and let the fire die out. The indirect method is used when the fire is spreading fast and is too hot for the fire fighters to work in close. In fighting a fast-burning fire, the fire fighters have to get ahead of the fire and set a fire to burn back into the spreading fire. The distance the back fire is set in front of the original fire depends on several factors, wind velocity, temperature, and the inflammability of the material in the path of the fire. On a comparatively slow-moving fire, a fire line can be raked four to ten feet in front of the fire and from eighteen inches to three feet wide. Then all inflammable material between the line and main fire is burned out. On a fast-moving fire, often the back fire has to be set at a natural fire break, such as a road or stream. The most important thing in fire control, once a fire is started, is to get a fire crew on the fire as quickly as possible and before the fire has had time to spread over a large area. Few fires burn long without being seen by someone and if reported immediately to a fire warden or the lookout tower, a crew of men can be dispatched at once, and the fire brought under control while it is small and before it has had time to develop into a fast-moving, damaging conflagration. The Appalachian Trail, because of its location in the Blue Ridge Mountains, affords a route through which fire fighters can be transported or walked into some of the more isolated sections without much loss of time. Otherwise, if the men had to be walked over the rugged mountains, they would arrive at the fire fatigued and unable to do efficient LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARDED TO CHARLES P. THOMAS The first honorary life membership in the Club, established in accordance with the recent amendment to the bylaws, has been awarded to Charles P. Thomas by action of the Council. The certificate of membership was presented at the annual picnic in August. The award, for continued conspicuous service in promoting the objectives of the Club, could be bestowed upon no one more deserving of it.
