Official Warns Of Fire Hazards
The other weekend a Lancaster
County barn was destroyed by
fire, and in Cumberland County
a fire truck was involved in an
accident while answering an
alarm.
And thiougiiout the state there
were hundreds of grass fires,
the majority of which were caus
ed by careless debris burners
To many Pennsylvanians, the
task of burning debris is just a
normal routine household chore,
but there are many who over
look the possibilities, and dan
gers, which can occur moments
after they touch a lighted match
to that pile of trash.
“Debris burning in Pennsyl
vania poses a senous problem,”
noted Eugene F McNamara,
Chief, Division of Forest Pro
tection, Depaitment of Envn on
mental Resources, “and just last
year it was the numbei one
cause for fuss which destroyed
more than 1,000 acres of forest
land
•‘We do not suggest that tiash
be burned, but would rather see
it picked up by trash collectors
il at all possible not only to les
sen the danger of fue but to
prevent the spread of air pollu

BAKER’S
AG-LIME pays off BEST!
Liming pays off In healthier soil, better crops, stronger and more
productive animals. In fact, it has been estimated that each $1 invested
in limestone returns from $3 to $lO in bigger and better yields.
Baker’s agricultural limestone pays off best because it does more.
Baker’s ag-lime sweetens soil to reduce acidity and raise pH level. It
also adds vital magnesium. Both are important to make sure that your
crops can make full use of the fertilizers you apply.
Take care of your la/id, and your land will take care of you. Choose
the brand of Baker’s agricultural limestone that meets your needs best.

“In 1966,” he said, “debris
burning was- the third major
cause of forest fires That year
it was responsible for 193 fires
which swept over 1,690 acres of
forest land
“The following year it contin
ued to remain in third place with
182 fiies, involving 1,110 acies,
but in 1968 and 1969 debus burn
ing became the second major
cause of hies with 353 files in
volving 2,816 aices in 1968, and
431 fires and 4,194 acies m 1969
“Last year,’ McNamara added
“acreage involved in fue was less
but debus burning as a cause
took place and was lesponsible
foi 219 fires involving 1,074
acies of forest land
“Based on repoits from recent
weekends, when the temperatme

hour, debus burning may well
retain the lead for 1971 unless

“Don’t choose a windy day for
burning, burn trash only in a
screen coveied metal container,
located in the center of an area
cleared of all inflammable ma
terial, and keep handy a bucket
of water or garden hose in case
of an emergency.
“The wise property owner
should also alert the local fire
company of his intentions, as
v/ell as the district forester, so
that prompt assistance can be
piovided if and when the need
arises ” concluded McNamara.
