Nearly one-third o f this damage was the result of carele ssness on the part of smokers and campers, the latter having fail~d to extinguish camp fire s. At this time of the year, when the timber is dry and the brush is almost devoid of moi sture, the motorist who flicks cigarette and cigar stubs or burnpipe ashes from his car, or who fails to exting-uish th e embers of a fire with water or dirt is guilty of extreme negligence.
