At the board. meeting April .7, when the 3-1 vote was east, the complaints were to the effect that some people like to bum brush in the damp morning Hours, and thatiat other times an approaching rain (not in scheduled hours) would make burning better than possibly later in the day.
The fire wardens were told that the evening hours were set by law because winds seldom rise late in the day and that from 4 o’clock on toward nignt dampness increases.
The laws^vere passed, state the fire WardensAto protect tile forests and property. The State Forestry Office represents a valiant fight 'o conserve the forests of the land for the present and future generations.
The fire wardens know that since the laws have been in force, fire damage in the state has been reduced to one-tnird of the damage caused before the laws. In the last five years, since the laws have been enforced in Rappahannock, the annual loss by fire ha^ been kept below an average of 30 acres of woodland.
