REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
The past year represents one of the severest fire seasons we have ever witnessed. The C. V. F. A. with the aid of nearby towns and State equipment, as well as volunteers, handled the situation so that we did not have too many serious fires.
Our Town equipment responded to seventy-three differ- ent fires this past season. Fifty of these were grass or brush, forty one of which were held to one-half acre or less. Fourteen were chimney fires, and there was no dam- age reported at any of these. Six building fires were re- sponded to, with a complete loss of two buildings. There were also three automobile fires which caused little dam- age.
The Town Fire Apparatus was greatly appreciated this past year. The Carver V. F. A. members remodeled the old truck, known as Engine 3, so that we now have a good piece of equipment as far as this truck is concerned. All labor on this project was donated by members of the organization.
Meetings of the Carver V. F. A. have been well attended this past year. This has aided us greatly, as it gave us a chance to discuss ways and means of fighting our fires in a more efficient manner.
We are fortunate to have our new State Forest Fire Warden located in our town. His help and suggestions have proved very helpful to us both at our meetings and at our fires.
56
Due to the hurricane which we had last fall, we have much to think about, as far as protecting our woods from fire. It is true, the State as well as the Town are doing all they can to remove timber from the wood roads. It is impossible for them to clear everything before another fire season is on us. The Carver V. F. A. has had a port- able pump demonstrated to them, and they feel this equip- ment will be the answer to some of our fire problems this coming seasons. These pumps can be used after a fire has been knocked down and will save a vast amount of abuse that our fire trucks ordinarily would have to take. They will also prove very beneficial at house fires.
Last season we placed one truck at North Carver which proved very satisfactory. It was manned by a group from North Carver. This gave us an opportunity to get the jump on fires in that section. This winter the equipment is housed at the screenhouse of Mr. Ellis D. Atwood where there is no danger of its freezing. When a call is received it enables us to get away immediately. The large brush breaker which is generally housed at the State Forest is also here for the winter, along with our own equipment. We are also very fortunate to be able to say that there is no expense attached for this privilege. In the spring we plan to send equipment back to North Carver.
I wish to thank at this time, all who have aided in keeping our fires down. The support and cooperation of everyone has been greatly appreciated, especially those who gave so much of their time for which no pay was received. Our trucks were manned seven days each week during the summer months.
Burn all the slash and grass you can this winter, to help prevent early spring fires.
57
Notify your forest warden if there are plots you wish burned and do not feel as though you dare to do it your- self. He will gladly cooperate.
The question of spring fire permits is something we should consider. They are going to be hard to get al- though there are times when they will be available. Vio- lators, this spring will be prosecuted, as we must be care- ful. Please cooperate.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS A. MERRITT,
Forest Warden.
