Under whose direction was the Fire Patrol organized?

• A. Emergency Management Agency
• B. Health Department
• C. Agriculture Department
• D. Municipal Government

Answer: (C)

The Fire Patrol was organized under the direction of the Agriculture Department due to its historical role in managing forest resources and responding to wildfires. The Agriculture Department often plays a critical part in coordinating fire patrol efforts, particularly in rural and forested areas where wildfires can pose significant threats to both the environment and agricultural lands. This focus aligns with the department's broader responsibilities of protecting natural resources, promoting sustainable land management, and preventing agricultural damage. The other options may deal with emergency response or public health but do not have the same direct connection to the management and prevention of fire hazards as the Agriculture Department does.
