Description: 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.
