Fire Prevention Week Aims to Save Forests and Livelihoods
Elmo Scott Watson notes Wire Prevention Week urging public and private groups to educate Americans on fire risks. He cites high annual losses from forest fires, private land dangers, and the need for a national forestry program under Clarke McNary and McNary McSweeney measures. He warns that rapid population growth and limited land demand sustained by forests require urgent, coordinated action to protect timber resources for future generations.
