Mechanical equipment has demon- strated its value in controlling forest fires and its use is rapidly increasing, now that labour is scarce and it is often difficult to assemble men promptly to prevent a fire spreading. The upper illustration shows a fire- fighting tank car, equipped with 4,000 ft. of 23/^-in. hose, hose rack and pump, maintained by the Canadian Pacific railway for the control of fires along its lines in the Muskoka dis- trict, Ontario. The lower illustration shows the equipment in actual use at a fire in cutover forest lands, where the debris on the ground constitutes a source of great fire danger. Tank cars and pumping outfits are also in use, to a limited extent, on por- tions of the Grand Trunk, Transcon- tinental and Timiskaming and Nor- thern Ontario railways, and have thoroughly demonstrated their effect- iveness. Portable pumping outfits for forest protection purposes, are used by the Dominion Parks Branch, Dominion Forestry Branch, British Columbia Forestry Branch Ontario Forestry Branch, Canadian Pacific Railway Forestry Branch, and by the St. Maurice, Ottawa River, Laurentide and Southern St. Law- rence Forest Protective Associations.
