WILDFIRE PREVENTION:

It starts with you

If a campfire is too hot to touch, it's too hot to walk away from. Always keep a bucket of water next to the campfire, and make sure the fire is out cold before packing up and leaving.

If using a recreational vehicle at a campground, make sure that it has operational spark arresters. Never park in a dry, grassy area - heat produced by the exhaust system could start a fire!
