operations except at Big Pocono
where the fire danger is still

This year’s spring fire season
was one of the worst on record
and necessitated, effective April
19, a proclamation from Gov.
Raymond P. Shafer prohibiting
fires “within woodlands or with
in 200 feet of woodlands in any
county of the Commonwealth.”
At that time there was report
ed nearly 1,000 fires which
swept over 9,464 acres or about
twice the amount of acreage
burned during the entire 12
months of 1967.
