1952 midsummer fuel moistures in Oregon and Washington national forests compared with other years.

Abstract

The inflammability of Oregon and Washington national forests during the middle of the 1952 fire season was slightly lass than the 12-year record high set in 1951 (table 1). The rating is based on the 25 lowest daily observations of fuel-moisture indicator sticks in the July 16 to August 21 period. Stick readings from 64 key fire-danger stations near the exterior boundaries of the national forests were used in this study. This is the fourth annual report on midsummer fuel moisture.
