Synopsis

Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, Vol. 20: A Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control; October 1959

When to expect fires often depends on the cause as much as on the fire danger at the time. Some causes concentrate fire starts during weekends and holidays, or out-of-work hours. Some are tied to the season, some to certain hours of the day. Prevalence of fires in one locality as compared to another sometimes means more hazardous fuels. If our records are good enough to show that, they can be used to guide hazard-reduction programs.

The design of a fire prevention program is only as valid as the fire statistics on which it is based.
