HIGHWAYS CLEARED OF FIRE HAZARDS Gutting Bmsh Has Prevented Serions Outbreaks | In conjunction with a statement that not one forest fire which has taken place in the state during the past year originated upon the high- way rights of way. Highway Com- missioner John A. MacDonald today requested the cooperation of Con- necticut highway users in prevent- ing the outbreak of forest fires in this month when woodland confla- grations are most apt to be preval- ent. Commisioner MacDonald state- ment followed the reception of re- | ports on fire prevention activities | requested from all Highway District | Supervisors. | All of the district reports show | that every effort to prevent the or- igin "of forest fires upon highway rights of way in Connecticut have been made by the supervisors. Spe- cial attention has been devoted in the past few months in clearing away old brush, weeds, and other inflamable materials along the sides of the highways, this work being done with the intention of beauti- fying the roads as well as eliminat- ing growths which in dry weather might easily Ignite from a cigaret or cigar butt carelessly thrown from a passing motor car. Further effort has been made dur- ing the year to widen the shoulders of all roads and to harden them by oiling so that it is impossible for plant growths to spring up in eclose proximity to the pavement. The reports also state that not one of the forest fires of the past year started along the highway right of way. In every case, the blazes have started in the woods from the carelessness of trespassers or other reasons. In several in- stances, foremen and laborers in the employ of the highway department have volunteered their services or have been requested by fire -war dens to assist in extinguishing tim- ber fires on the interior of the woods. Other fires were discovered by department employes and re- ported to the fire wardens. In his request for the cooperation of highway users in the prevention of forest fires Commissioner Mac- Donald said: “During the month of August when fires are most likely to break out in Connecticut forests, avery person who uses the highway can assist in preventing the destruc- tion of valuable and beautiful tim- ber not only by exercising precau- tion against the outbreak of fires, | but also reporting them by tele-| phone to the nearest fire warden | whenever they are discovered. Mo- torists traveling along the Connec- ttcut highways should avoid casting lighted cigarets or cigars into tim- ber or brush adjacent to the road, and campers and picnic parties should take special care in thor- oughly extinguishing with the aid of | ‘water or sand all camp fires before leaving them."
