some
of

he
worked
on

was

here
from

The
most
important
factor
in

fluencing
fire
fighting
aiound
Prince

was
the
war
he
said
Men
and
equipment
were
at
a
premium
and
the
forest
industry
was
not
jet
vciy
highly
developed
so
that
many
forest
fires
were
just
allowed
to
bum
out
Mr

recalled
that
only
35
men
using
nana
tools
fought

ot

which
cov
covered

from

Last
