Show Hunters Warned About Fire Danger in Forests "Outside the designated areas, gas stoves are permtited but charcoal burners are prohibited,' pro-hibited,' Hronek concluded. And when Thomas A. Edison was in school, he was always at the foot of his class because he couldn't remember his three R's. His teachers called him stupid, and doctors predicted that he would have serious brain trouble. Hunting on the Uinta National Nation-al Forest will continue for several sev-eral more weeks. The elk hunt extends for 1 more week-end, and the annual deer hunt opens extends for 1 more week-end, Saturday, October 19th. A major concern this year is still the extreme fire hazard resulting from extended drought drou-ght conditions throughout the National Forests. "We went into in-to the opening of the hunt under un-der some of the driest conditions condit-ions ever. We appreciate the fine attitude most hunters have with the care of fire and litter," Supervisor Bruce B. Hronek, noted. The Fire Prevention Order is still in effect throughout the state and will continue to be enforced, with citations being issued to those who build camfires or warming fires in unauthorized areas, Hronek continued. The Restriction Order prohibits prohi-bits setting open fires, except in facilities provided at camp-gound camp-gound and picnic areas or permanently per-manently improved places of habitation, or where otherwise authorized by an official of the Forest Service. Smoking will also be prohibited, prohib-ited, except in dwellings, at improved im-proved recreation sites, in a boat, on a paved road, while wading in a stream, or where an 18-inch diameter has been scraped bare to the soil. The campgrounds are open. The water has now been turn-of turn-of off. "With all the leaves lying around, the campgrounds are a potential fire danger in themselves and care is urged in building campfires in the designated areas,' Hronek stated. |
