Show Fire Lookouts Watch For Careless Airmen SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. Airplane Air-plane pilots are supplanting careless motorists as the bane of U. S. forest for-est service fire-fighters, according to Supervisor F. C. Koziol of Wasatch National forest. It used to be that motorists carelessly care-lessly flipping cigarettes from their car windows or knocking out pipe ashes were blamed for the majority of man-set forest fires. Now. Ko-giol Ko-giol says, fire lookouts have been warned to keep their binoculars trained on pilots of aircraft. "It has been established in many instances that aircraft have flown over areas immediately before fire has broken out," he reports. "With no other causes discovered, there s a distinct possibility that burning material tossed from the planes caused the fires." |
