Careless Burners To Get Big Bill For Fire Losses Dade Countians who allow fires to burn out of control on any forested brush or grass¬ lands are not only going to be subject to heavy fines, but the state Forestry Commission says they are going to be billed for the services of the protection fire-fighting crew. *n quoting from the Georgia Fire Law, the commission says, “Any fire burning uncontrolled on any forested, cut over brush- land or grasslands is hereby de¬ clared to be a public nuisance by reason of Its menace to life and property." The law goes on to state that if anyone refuses or neglects to fight a fire in their area, they then become suject to be billed for not only the cost of the fire¬ fighting crew, but the value of the timber destroyed as well. Local ranger Jerry Pace said the cost of his truck and two man crew runs about seven dol¬ lars per hour while engaged in extinguishing a woods fire. The Forestry Commission has printed bills which have been sent to al rangers and hereafter when blame can be pinned on anyone for a woodsfire, they will really have smoke In their eyes after totaling up the cost.
