Fire In The Forest
INCE the outbreak of war, a new menace to the safety of the forest has been created by the use of producer gas as a substitute for petrol. Observation and experience have proved this. Many gas producers send out sparks and cinders which will
readily set fire to dry grass, tussock, and bracken, but the main danger is from the careless dumping of live embers and ash from the producer furnace? Motorists know that this is necessary every two or three hours on a long run, and they are earnestly asked to dump refuse only in a safe place — near a stream for preference — where the ashes should be
thoroughly drenched with water or smothered with sand or loose earth. — ("The New Zealand State Forest Service: Prevent. Forest Fires." 2YA, December 18.)
