Protecting your forest home from fire requires the same com- mon sense applied to all fire pre- vention. You have anticipate haz- ards. Then you must either elimi- nate or prepare for them. Forest fires are fuclled by dry vegetation. Clearing a fucl-free area around your buildings will serve to create a fire break. It can prevent ground fires from creep- ing close to your house. Removal of coniferous trees close to buildings will increase the effectiveness of the break. Other trees within 20 to 30 metres of buildings should be thinned Out to at least three metres apart. Prune ever-green branches and remove papery birch bark as high up as you can reach. Don't allow underbrush, dry C.A.P.

Planting grass, clover or plants with high moisture content is a good idea, but keep grass and weeds cut short. It may be convenient to pile fire wood close to your door, but the dry wood is a fire hazard. Store it away from the house. Gas, oil, and other flammables should also be kept away from living quarters. Don't let your house be the cause of forest fires. Keep chim- neys in good repair, especially spark arrestors. While inspecting the chimney, sweep forest litter from the roof. During high fire danger, put out fires in stoves or fireplaces before leaving home. Rural residents should be pre- pared to take initial action on small fires. With a little fire sup- pression equipment on hand, you can stop or slow a fire's spread until help arrives. If you don't have running water, pack pumps are an inex- pensive suppression tool that you might consider acquiring. A cheaper, but less effective alternative is to keep ready, a 45 gallon drum (200 litres) full of water and a small pail with which to apply it. Other useful tools not restricted to fire fighting are a long-handled, pointed shovel, rake, axe and chain saw. A ladder long enough to. access the roof could prove invaluable. Most people-caused forest fires can be prevented through common sense, caution and fol- lowing simple fire-safety rules. If you live in the forest, a responsi- ble attitude is your best insurance. /, As Low As 00 Return* *Certain restrictions apply 22 Ontario Northland @&) «: Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines Services Services Aériens
