Forester Says
Some Fires
Intentional
Carl MeLear, of the
Georgia Forestry Commis
sion’s Griffin office, reports
that the recent forest fires
that startled many local
citizens were controlled
burnings and that there was
no danger involved to either
life or property.
In a letter outlining the
reasons for these purposeful
burnings, MeLear states:
“This is an explanation
concerning the two recent
large forest fires which were
carried out on the 11th and
23rd of March on Brownlee
Road and Georgia 16 near
Jackson.
These fires were controlled
burnings purposely set to
achieve desired results. Fire
skillfully utilized can be used
to burn out undergrowth to
improve conditions for tree
regeneration and wildlife
also by bringing in more
browse food after the
undergrowth is removed.
I am sorry if these
burnings upset or frightened
anyone. In the future we will
try to notify the radio station
so more people will be
notified. These fires can
create a hazard from smoke
drifting over the highway. If
you encounter this please
slow down and turn on your
lights and proceed through
the area. The less crowded
conditions are on the high
way the less chances are that
an accident will take place.
These fires do a great deal
of good and should be
expected around this time of
year.
Thank you for your
cooperation.”
