Excerpt from Forest Fire Control Problems and Research Needs in GeorgiaThe overall purpose of the study was to probe the fire control situa tion in Georgia with emphasis on the larger fires to see where and how research could help. Research was broadly conceived as a function, the application of fact-finding, study, analysis and objectivity in meeting problems. So regarded, research needs permeate every aspect of fire con trol.Research needs grow out of problems and cannot be considered inde pendently of them. Particular emphasis accordingly was placed on trying to get a grasp of problems. The applied nature of much research in the fire field is frankly accepted although it should be stressed that this places no limitation on the technical penetration and calibre of research needed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
