The article notes that railway construction affects forest fires with examples from Canada Atlantic Railway under John R. Booth and the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway where strict brush burning controls limited fires. It contrasts with the Canadian Pacific Railway where fires ran rampant prior to patrols and predicts ongoing needs for vigilance on the Grand Trunk Pacific and New Brunswick lines with patrols planned.
