No results found.Fire is a frightening element and to be involved in a great forest fire out of control is an experience that few people would want to relive. The tragedy of such waste and destruction is that it is unnecessary. Given understanding, foresight and determination, forest fires can be kept within bounds. This study aims at helping countries less developed in this field to plan and organize protection against forest fire - using the experience and knowledge of the more advanced countries. It attempts to describe the successive steps which need to be followed in the formulation of policy, the setting up of an organization to translate that policy into action, and the means by which plans can be carried to fulfillment.
