Show WARDEN REPORTS CLOSE OF BURNING SEASON Utah's closed season on burning burn-ing has been declared for the period June 1 to October- 31, it is announced. by J. Whitney Floyd, chief forester-firewarden for the board of forestry and fire control. "This means that all those who wish to burn sagebrush, grassland, grass-land, or other areas between June 1 and October 31, must secure a burning permit from the county firo warden before doing so. The fire warden for Utah county is Sheriff Theron S. Hall," Mr. Floyd said. Uncontrolled, burning results in deterioration of rangelands and watersheds, he declared. Utah cannot afford to lose any of the vegetation which holds our soil in place and controls the water runoff. Fires destroy feed which may be used by livestock and wildlife. Unattended, fires should be reported re-ported to the sheriff, highway patrolman, forest or grazing service serv-ice official in the locality of the fire. |
