Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details forest fire prevalence, destructiveness, and causes in the state of North Carolina during the year 1910, according to information the author painstakingly collected from correspondents all over the state. The author connects the information to corresponding data from 1909, creating a comparative study of forest fires in North Carolina at the time. While the book gives statistics regarding the number of fires, area burned, damage to timber and other products, improvements, lives lost, and cost to fight the fires, the author also discusses the causes of these fires in detail. Some causes include burning brush, grass, and rubbish; carelessness and negligence of individuals; sparks from engines; and intentional acts. The author dives into preventive and protective measures, offering ideas for private landowners to protect their property, and discussing the value of co-operative associations for fire prevention. The book also outlines potential state measures for forest fire protection, such as amending laws to prosecute those who start forest fires, as well as creating a system of fire wardens to enforce forest fire laws. Overall, this book is a thorough examination of forest fires in North Carolina in the year 1910 and provides valuable insights into the problem of forest fires and their prevention.
