Excerpt from Fire Control Notes, 1962, Vol. 23: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to the Technique of Forest Fire Control Fire Control Notes came into being in December 1936 because of the premise that the widely scattered, creative efforts of individuals and separate groups in fire control work could not be fully effective unless they were shared with others. The lead article in that issue, Fire Control Offers Its Services, is reprinted here because the purpose and aims expressed in it are as true today as they were 25 years ago.
