Summary
The April 1965 Beaver Beacon published spring fire-safety guidance: obtain a Conservation Department permit before open burning, keep fires small and attended, account for wind and nearby vegetation, and call for help if a fire escapes. The April 1966 issue repeated the guidance and the provisions attributed to Act 143 P.A. 1923.
