Today Smokey Bear is celebrating his 66th birthday. My kids and I bumped into the famous bear last weekend while camping at Grover Hot Springs State Park in California's Sierra mountains. The USDA Forest Service put on a presentation about forest fire prevention and even let the kids play with the fire hose. My son had a fun time spraying his dad!Here are some fire prevention tips from Smokey:
| • | If smoking is permitted outdoors, safe practice requires a 3-foot clearing around the smoker. |
| • | Don't park your vehicle on dry grass. |
| • | If off-road vehicle use is allowed, internal combustion equipment requires a spark arrester. |
| • | Know your county's outdoor burning regulations. Unlawful trash burning is a punishable offense. |
| • | At the first sign of a wildfire, leave area immediately by established trails or roads. Contact a Ranger as soon as possible. If escape route is blocked, go to the nearest lake or stream. |
| • | Leave campsite as natural as possible, traveling on trails and other durable surfaces. |
| • | Inspect your site upon leaving. |
| • | Never take burning sticks out of a fire. |
| • | Never take any type of fireworks on public lands. |
| • | Keep stoves, lanterns and heaters away from combustibles. |
| • | Store flammable liquid containers in a safe place. |
| • | Never use stoves, lanterns and heaters inside a tent |
