PRESS-COURIER,
FIRES DESTROY 4,137
ACRES IN GALLITZIN
AREA DURING A YEAR
Forest fires during 1938 devastated
4,E17 acres of land entailing a total
damage of $5,805.25 in the Gallitzin
District of the Department of Forests
& Waters, It was revealed in the annual
1cport compiled last Thursday by
District Forester Thomas M. Gray.
The district includes Cambria and
Indiana Counties and parts of Clear-
fieid and Blair Counties.
Forester Gray's report revealed that
201 fires were extinguished during the
fad while only 181 were reported in
the spring. The total number of fires
for the year was 382.
He also indicated that the fall season
was one of the worst in recent years.
In order to keep the fires to a mini-
mum several reserve crews were
pressed into service during the season.
Despite the large number of fires
and the large area burned over the
total extinction costs were held to
$11,183.25. The report showed that the
everage cost of extinction per acre was
$2.32, which was only 16 cents above
the previous year when only 1,138
acres were burned over.
Gray's report showed that 1,332 ac.
res of timberland were burned over
and 3,021 acres of brushland and 463
acres of grassland were destroyed by
fires during the year.
Nearly one-fourth of the total fires
occured during the month of Octcher
the report showed. Forester Gray
pointed out that October was the dry-
est month of the year and forestlands
were virtual tinderboxes during the
entire month.
Approximately 700 acres of brush
ano timberlands were destroyed in the
largest fire of the year which broke
out in Chest Township and burned into
adjoining Clearfield Township. The
burned nearly two days before
being brought under control,
During 1937, which was a banner
year in the Gallifzin District, the lar-
gest fire reported for the year burned
over only 65 acres.
