Most wildfires are human-caused and preventable - do your part to prevent wildfires and wildfire smoke:
Never leave campfires or debris burns unattended.
Avoid burning during windy conditions. Wind can cause embers to spread quickly, igniting dry vegetation.
Ensure campfires and hot coals are completely extinguished by drowning, stirring, and feeling for heat.
Use spark arresters on equipment. Chainsaws, ATVs, and other machinery can produce sparks that ignite dry grass and brush.
Don’t drive or park on dry grass. The undercarriage of your car is hot and can catch vegetation on fire.
Don’t let tow chains drag. Dragging chains can cause sparks.
Obey all local fire restrictions. Check before starting any outdoor activities that involve fire.
