Only You Can Prevent Wildfires!

Happy —an extra day to practice wildfire prevention! You can do your part by following some key tips:
☑️ Check for any fire restrictions or bans before starting a campfire or debris burning.
☑️ Never leave your campfire unattended! Even a small spark can ignite a wildfire.
☑️ To fully extinguish your campfire, drown it with lots of water, stir with a shovel, drown again, and feel for any remaining heat by hovering your hand above the embers.
☑️ Be sure to follow Leave No Trace to minimize your impact on the natural surroundings.
☑️ Celebrate this once-every-four-years event with some leapfrog! 🐸
