Ranger Hall
Asks Help
For Woods
Recent rains have
prevented the usual outbreak
of forest wildfires in many sec
tions, but Ranger Fred Hall of
the Chattooga County Unit of
the Georgi:%‘orestry Commis
sion warned that low humidity
and high winds can quickly dry
out woodlands and again
create a potential for wilffire.
“Several weeks remain in
the current fire season before
spring when green vegetation
will reduce tfi threat,” said
Hall.
According to commission
guidelines for the system, per
sons should still call their Cfiat.—
tooga County forestry unit.
The system provides a 2};-hour
a-day instant contact with the
commission to alert firefighters
when necessary during non
working hours and on
weekends.
Persons reporting a wildfire
are urged to be prepared to
give sufficient information to
the dispatcher for directing
firefighters to the scene. For
further information on the
dispatch system, residents
should call Hall.
