This book discusses methods and apparatus to effectively prevent and control forest fires. Written in 1912, the author, an experienced Forest Service employee, details the serious losses from these forest fires and examines the issues faced by the Forest Service. This book is set against a time when forest fires were a common practice in the United States, and the author's research and exploration into managing these fires was groundbreaking and insightful for the time. Despite being written over a century ago, this book remains an essential and valuable resource for firefighters and forest managers today. The author provides compelling evidence for his proposed solutions to controlling forest fires and articulates a clear understanding of the importance of cooperative public-private partnerships, the suppression of forest fires, and the development and use of mechanical fire suppression methods.
