Rural Carriers To Report Fires
The May Postal Guide announces an order requiring rural carriers to report forest fires detected on their routes to the proper authorities. Carriers notify the nearest forest officer or a responsible citizen if none is available, with foresters and postmasters sharing contractor details for rapid contact. The program expands across many states and regions, coordinating with federal and state forest services to enhance fire protection.
