he recent fires in the clay belt of
Northern Ontario have, 'according to re-
cent'entiMatest earned the loss of prob-
ably not less than 250 lives and the' des-
truction of several million dollars worth
of property.
-
TiiiriTiFerkirvatest catastrophe Of the
kind, from the pointervievref lives lost,
• that has ever occurred in Canada.: The
nearest approach was the Porcupine fire,
in 1911,in the same dietriet, where 34
• lives xvere lost. So far as records show.
only twn forest fires have ever occurrea
onthis continentWhich caused the lose*
of =relives than the "clay belt" are Of
1910. One was the Peslitigo fire, Wis-,
cOnsin,in 1871, when some 1,500 people
• perished.. The Hinckley, hinmesoll, fire.
. of 104, earned the loss of .418 lives.
All.available evidence indicates that
the recent •disaster -'as the reinit of
large number Of settlers' land -clearing
fires, which spread rapidly and „merged
together into Several ali-Consumingliolo-
catnits with the almost unprecedented
hot, dry spell of the last half of July
and the very heavy winds which ocenrr-
ed at that time, ,
Ontario has no law which' restricts in
any way the right of the 'settler to start
clearing fires at any time he may see fit.
The Act provides only that every reason-
ablneare and precatition:, exer-
cised in the setting out or Starting of
clearing fires, and in the management of
And:care far such fires after_they have
been set out -or started, in order...to pre-
-vent such fires from spread*. , , There
is no statement of what precautinne shall
be taken, nor any, real provision for the
enforcement of this wholly inadequate
provision of the law.
In actual- practice settlers are at liber-
ty to set out clearing fifes whenever they
wish; and no fire ranger has any author-
ity t� prevent them. It, therefine, nat-
urally follows that the mare earelerar or
reckless settlers select the driest times
for such fires. ,
!ffnless a radical change is made in• the
fared protection .laws, with adequate
provision for enforcement, such disasters
may be confidently expected in the "clay
belt," at repeated intervals, and ontil the
counny in process of settlement is swept
prattically clear of timber.
