PRACTICE WILDLAND FIRE SAFETY

Properly putting out campfires is crucial.

Western Montana is susceptible to wildland fire, especially during the dry summer months. Please do your part to ensure that your actions involving fire are responsible.

Here’s how you can do your part:

CAMPFIRES

+ Campfires must be prepared for safely, built properly, and maintained and extinguished completely.

+ Never leave a campfire unattended.

VEHICLE SAFETY

+ Stay on designated roads and avoid parking on dry brush or grass, as exhaust pipes and vehicle undercarriages can be very hot and easily start a wildland fire.

+ Ensure that chains and metal parts aren’t dragging from your vehicle, as this can cause sparks.

+ Maintain tire pressure and brake pads.

SMOKING

+ Extinguish and properly dispose of cigarette butts.

+ Do not throw cigarette butts out of your car window.
