Communities <br />located ir forested areas with limited means of escape <br />should be constantly alert to the danger that regular <br />routes of travel may be cut off by a forest fire. This <br />danger may exist for a single building, a group of cot ­ <br />tages. or a well-established community. Even though the <br />means of exit may be not affected, adjacent fires can <br />move in quickly, necessitating very rapid partial or com ­ <br />plete evacuation of the location. <br />B-6.1.1 To assure a safe and orderly evacuation, de­ <br />tailed plans prepared well in advance are necessary. <br />B-6.1.2 Formulation of the plan is essentially a commun <br />ity effort including alternate escape routes. <br />B-6.1.S The organization heading the project might <br />consist of a chairperson or director, under whose direc­ <br />tion would be several committees, each responsible for <br />such items as communications, transportation, accom­ <br />modation and supr!y. medical and police work. <br />B-6.1.4 Plans wouii- be developed for each of the above <br />topics with complete details of the acdons to be taken in <br />an emergency. <br />B-7 Forest Land Users. <br />B-7.1 When required, register with proper forest or fire <br />official upon entering forested areas. <br />B-7.1.1 Secure campfire permits where required. <br />B-7.1.2 Get acquainted with the local fire kuthoHty <br />and find out how to get in touch with him quickly in case <br />of fire trouble. <br />B-7.1.3 Extinguish ail open fires upon retiring or <br />before leaving a camp site. <br />B-7.2 Equip vehicles with fire fighting tools as required <br />bv state or local law. <br />B-7.2.1 Equip internal combustion engines with spark <br />arresters if required by state law. <br />B-7.3 Be familiar with and observe regulations on <br />smoking and campfire building — sii down to smoke and <br />extinguish smoking materials before leaving the area. <br />B-7.3.1 Be an alert, good "housekeeper** in the woods. <br />Practice fire prevention at all tiniesl <br />Do not discharge fireworks in forested areas:B-7.3.2 uo not aiscnarge <br />they are a fire hazard and generally prohibited. <br />B-7.4 Occupants should conform to fire safety regula­ <br />tions for dwellings with resp^t to clearance of hazardous <br />material, use of nammable liquids and gases, installation <br />of approved types of fire extinguishers, and early warning <br />devices. <br />•4l!'vr <br />"ny ''y' <br />' mm : i <br />jliA <br />B-S Reporting Fires or ViolatioiUpon entering a forested area.

It is t <br />imponance that campers recogniz <br />responsibility in preventing fires. <br />B-8.1 Making Camp. <br />Use a pi ''pared camp site, preferably where fireplaces <br />or stoves aie provided and vegetative hazard has been <br />cleared away. <br />Where it is pcttnissible to prepare a camp site, follow <br />these rules: <br />B-8.1.1 Before building an open fire, scrape away all <br />flammable material down to mineral sod for at least five <br />feet on ail sides. Don't confuse duff (decayed vegetable <br />matter) with mineral soil — duff is combustible. Line <br />with rock. <br />B-8.1.2 Dig a small pit and keep the fire small. Never <br />k lobuild it against trees, logs, stumps or near brush. <br />B-8.1.3 Be sure pipe ashes, cigars or cigarette stubs are <br />*'desd out," then dospose of them in ash trays, mineral soil <br />or water. <br />B-8.1.4 Select an area near a source of water, if possi ­ <br />ble. <br />B<B.2 Leaving Camp. <br />^ever leave camp until your fire is "dead out." <br />Saturate ashes and coals with water, stir thoroughly until <br />ashes are cold to the touch. If you do not have sufficient <br />water, stir or chop mineral soil into ashes and coals. Con­ <br />tinue this until coals are "dead out.'* Check by feeling <br />them with bare hands. <br />Appendix C Bibliography <br />Thu Appendix u not part of *hu NFPA Standard 224 but u included <br />for mjormation purposes only. <br />C-1 NFPA Sundards.
