Basketball Announced Mock Fires Destroy 1,000 Acres in Bth District Fire Fighting Exercise A series of mock fires ‘destroy ed’ some 1,000 acres of valuable forests during a recent fire fight ing exercise conducted by the Georgia Forestry Commission. Commission Director Ray Shirley said the exercise was held to train state and industry person nel in project fire organization. The mock multiple fires roared through the Waycross State For est near Waycross. The 24-hour drill resulted in the use of 107 fire fighters and fire suppression equipment from the 14 county units in the Commission’s Eighth District. Ten other organizations contributed men and equipment to the combined effort. They are: U. S. Forest Service; Container Corp.; Rayonier Inc.; St. Regis; Union Bag-Camp Corp.; Inter national Paper Corp.; Southern Resin and Chemical Corp.; Geor gia Game & Fish Commission; Wade Investment Inc.; and Bruns wick Pulp and Paper Corp. Shirley pointed out that the primary purpose of the drills was to combine state personnel and industry fire fighters into an ef ficient team to battle major for est fires. In addition, it provided training in the management of personnel and equipment on fires in the 1,000 acre and abo^e class. Industry is often called in to aid in combating large fires and the Commission wanted to ac quaint these people as well as its new personnel with the complete operational set-up employed by the state agency when the big fires strike. A headquarters trailer, field kitchen and supply unit was dis patched to the exercise site from the Commission’s state headquar ters, Macon. Technicians from the district offices installed radio and field telephone systems to hand le communications as the ima ginary fires grew into roaring infernos.

Men were ‘injured’ in the battle again st the ‘fire’ and equipment ‘break downs’ plagued the fire boss. Two Super Cub aircraft flew actual patrol missions over the ‘burning’ area. These ‘eyes’ of the ground forces helped in directing crews into the fires. The pilots advised tractor operations, by direct radio contact, of obstacles in their paths. They also detect ed ‘spot’ fires and additional ‘set’ fires. These were reported to the fire boss by radio.
