South Suffers Heavy Loss From Forest Fires
Forest fires burned over 22 million acres in nine southern states in 1925, causing an estimated loss of 84.5 billion to forest resources. The Southern Forest Experiment Station in New Orleans, analyzing state foresters estimates, notes 64 percent of U.S. fire losses occurred in the South, with private timberland owners bearing the largest burden and public costs ultimately paid by all. The study links the high damage to fire prevention needs and ongoing timber growth assessments.
