1953 midsummer fuel moistures in Oregon and Washington national forests compared with other years.

Abstract

Flammability of Oregon and Washington national forests during the middle of the 1953 fire season was slightly less than the 3941-51 normal as indicated by slightly above normal fuel moistures (table 1). The rating is based on the 25 lowest daily observations of fuel-moisture indicator sticks in the July 16 to August 31 period. Records are from 68 key fire-danger stations near the exterior boundaries of the national forests.
