If you guessed that all these things could start a wildfire, you’re correct! Over 84% of wildfires are started by people. Follow these tips to prevent them: • Dispose of smoking materials properly. Use deep, sturdy ashtrays and douse cigarette and cigar butts with water before disposal. • Never leave campfires unattended. Fully extinguish fires by reducing wood logs or burned material to ash and saturating the remaining ashes with water. • Create a defensible space around your home by clearing dry vegetation and leaves from around your home, roof and gutters. • Be cautious with fireworks. Choose safe locations away from buildings and trees, and keep a supply or fire extinguisher on hand. Consider canceling fireworks if there’s a drought. #Wildfires #WildfireSafety #SafetyTips
