Everyday Wildfire Prevention

Most wildfires are caused by humans – many everyday things can create sparks.

Keep ignition sources far away from dry vegetation, wood, and other fuel.

• Have a clear 10-foot radius around campfires, burning brush, etc. Never leave fires unattended, and always properly extinguish.
• Use grills/smokers on gravel or paved surfaces.
• Never toss lit cigarettes on the ground. Put ashes in a metal container with a tight lid.
• Keep water stored near campfires, fire pits, grills, smokers, burning brush, etc.
• Maintain vehicle brakes & tires, and secure tow chains to avoid dragging. Don't drive on dry grass or brush.
• Water your lawn & keep grass cut. Mow lawn early in the morning and when it's not windy or excessively dry.

Always follow burn bans & regulations.

Be aware of weather conditions. Low humidity, heat, drought and winds are conducive to fires.
