FOREST  FIRE  SEASON   ENDS
The peak of the spring forest fire
season in Pennsylvania ia passed ac-
icording to George H. Wirt, Chief
Forest Fir* Warden, wao reports
that approximately 1600 fires burned
in "Penn's Woods*' this year.
The area burned, as determined
by preliminary figures complied by
thn bureau of forest protection, Department of Forests and Waters, is
expected to be less than 40,000 acre*
a* compared with tha 182,000 burned last spring. Th* area of the are-
tage fire burned in Pennsylvania
thia year will probably be is the
neighborhood of 20 acres, which is
considerably lass than half the average area burned per fire in the
Spring of 1981.
The wet weather in early April
sad again in ths Middle of May considerably reduced th* fire risk throughout the State. Except in years
of prolonged drought the spring forest fire season gradually ceases as
the forest vegetation becomes fully
developed, about the fitat of June.
Th* development of organized fire
fighting crews and the organization
of men on the fire line as a result
of these crews, attributed very largely to the email acreage burned over.
According to Wirt, who recently
made a tour of inspection la the
northern tire counties of Pennsylvania, th* tree folage there is not
i rapidly advanced as fas the southern sad central Pennsylvania aad
forestry officials will not relax their
vigilance la that section until th*
woods are sufficiently green aad
damp to rawer, all rfanBai of firs,
