State Project Attacks Cause Of Forest Fires
A pilot program by the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources and 10 towns aims to reduce woodland fires in Norfolk County through education and enforcement. Norfolk was chosen for its high fire count. 1963 saw 2,464 fires burning 3,763 acres and costing 51,951 to extinguish. Cooperating towns include Millis, Westwood, Foxboro, Sharon, Plainville, Walpole, Norfolk, Medfield, Medway, and Wrentham. The plan seeks a district wide daytime burning ban and a unified permit system, with state help for publicizing prevention and increasing patrols.
