National Forest Fire Regulations For 1928 Season

1. A camp fire permit must be secured before building any outdoor fires on national forest lands, including fires in stoves burning wood, gasoline or kerosene. A new form of permit will be used this season and will not be accompan- ied by the usual fire windshield sticker. The applicant must sign the permit in the presence of the issuing officer to make it valid, and must also register his name, address, automobile make and license number, number of people in party and destination, before receiving his permit. Camp fire permits may be secured from any Federal or State forest officer, automobile clubs and other designated agents.

2. A shovel and ax must be carried by each automobile and pack outfit party camping in the national forests. Travelers are urged to equip themselves with usable shovels

4. In certain national forests in Southern California, the building of camp and picnic fires will be restricted to improved and posted camp grounds.

"These regulations," said District Forester Show, "will be strictly enforced and will be most effective if backed by the hearty cooperation of all visitors to the National forests. Tn 1927, California had more timber, brush and grass fires than in any like period on record. This year promises to be a bad fire season and we are earnestly soliciting assistance in fire pr.evention from every citizen who has an interest in the conservation of the timber, water, forage, wild life and recreational resources of the State."
