Following is the text of a mission made to the Provincial Government by the Provincial Fire Marshal, Mr, C. A. Beer on pro- vision for the handling of forest or brush fires within the Province. It was read by Mr. Beer at last week's convention of Auxiliary Fire Services:

“The war in which we are tak- ing part at this time has brought home to us a greater realization of values with which nature has en- dowed us. In dealing with one part of our natural resources, i.e. wooded areas, we are confronted with the problem of saving from fire an extremely valuable asset which, unfortunately for many years has been rather taken for granted. Under normal conditions shortages have not been evident Ibefore but under present conditions supplies of lumber are difficult to obtain. and it therefore appears that we should now be fully cogniz- ant of the realities placed before

us. that every effort should

_ to fully protect our com- pillTlilllClfv small resources in stand- ing timber and, secondly, to pro- -v1de measures to safeguard as far as practical structures such as (lwellings, ciutbuiltlings, churches. the. which might be in the path of forest or brush fires. and the loss of which would undoubtedly bring extra pressure to bear on the ni-

-‘-‘~'- tan-vans.-

rcady strained situation re lum-, ber supplies. , "For many years no great thought | was given to the matter of pro-I tectlve measures, but through the] zictlvities of Civil Defence this Pro- vince has been supplied, on loan, with fire-fighting equipment most of which 1s definitely adopted for fighting forest or brush fires.

Organization Needed

"Now that equipment is avail- able, even though it is only -on a n‘ temporary basis. it is submitted * that for the good of the whole :1= Province and for the individual l" land owners therein an organiza- n; tlon spread province-wide should be set up to provide as great pro- _|_ tcction as is possible against the gt perils outlined above. As a means " to an end, it its silggestcd that the o "ons regarding the setting of "ush fires be stringently enforced specially with regard to the dates 'hen it is prohibited for such ac- ‘vities to take place, and that here necessary additional regula- tions be matte with regard to fire ,protcction where burn-outs are anticipated, the conscription of la- bor for fire-fighting purposes |where necessary, and any other regulations which might from time to time be deemed necessary. "It is suggested that the nucleus of the set-up be formed by the zicqulsitior. of the Auxiliary Fire Service Civil Dcfcnce Organiza- ‘ tion. This organization is so wide- isprcacl and has proven itself of ‘value so many tithes that there gwould appear to be no doubt as gin its value. Civil Defence Fire ‘ vices at the present time have '. cl Departments in twenty- four centres strategically located throughout the whole of the Pro- vince in the larger centres of pop- ation.

Fire Marshal Discusses Provision For Handling Forest Or Brash Fires

i sub- - might be

given providin equip- ment is available, and bes des this there is a large mobile unit in Charlottetown and under direct control of the Director of Fire Services, C.D.C. and which is in addition to 0.0.0. fire uipzmnt under control of the C arlotte- town Civil Defence Committee. This mobile unit can be put on the road at extremely short notice and is capable of a tremendous ef- fort and the supplying of at least eight streams of water for distances up a mile, always providing there is sufficient local help for the laying of hose lines, etc.

Cale Cited I

"All of the twenty-four supplied centres have organized and train- ed fire departments and this sub- mission provides in connection with the new proposed set-up to make,

contingent on the supplying of the,

centre with equipment the serg vices of their Fire Department for emergency calls in connection with forest or brush fires. As an exam- ple I \vish to quote the following experience which took place in thv early part of May 1944.

"A brush fire was reported at Bristol, Lot 40. The fire unit at lVforell, a mile or so away from the fire, was immediately given per- mission to take their equipment to the scene of the fire and use it: provision was made for a request to the Mt. Stewart Department. who are seven miles from the fire, to stand by in case they or some of their equipment were needed. At the same time the mobile unit in Charlottetown was given the standby signal and in the mean- time the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had a ]l2\ll'0i at the scene of the fire in order to aid in di- recting fire-fighting operations and’ in obtaining any necessary la- bor required. This fire was hand- led entirely by the people of the locality and the Morell Depart- metrt. The example given is mere- ly a repetition of what has taken place in connection with forest or brush fires in the last two years, but it must be borne in mind that these efforts have all been of a voluntary nature and are, of course, subject to many difficulties, most of which could be ironed out through the formation of a legal set-up.

Equipment

"At the present time Civil De- fence Fire Services equipment con- sists of the small forest fire pump- cr. whim is a vcry small but very efficient machine and can be car- ried by two men; the small 150 gallon per minute trailer pump, which weighs between seven and eight hundred pounds but is eas- ily man handled and does very e ficient work; and then the large 500 gallon per minute pumper, of which the mobile unit have two. This is a very ‘capable machine and is of the trailer type. but cannot be operated from the more difficult positions as are required in fighting this type of fire. They are, however. extremely valuable in relaying water where it cessary to pump water from any distance. There are more than

"The set-up suggested above could bc enlarged without any great amount of additional effort to include some help with regard to fire protection for individual property owners who, failing to have natural water supplies close enough to their proprrtyn were ag- gressive cnotlgil to provide a wat- e1‘ supply by building a cistern or in some tithcr way supplying water for fire purposes, but of course the efficiency; of fire-fighting in such cases would be contingent on the availability of the nearest equip- ment to the location, bearing in mind that there might be difficulty in providing mobility during those seasons of the year when the roads are blocked so far as motor traffic is concerned.
