| What do
you think of when you hear the words "Wildland
Fire"? Chances are, like most Americans, you remember
Smokey Bear's message: "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires".
Many wildfires are started accidentally, as a result
of motor vehicles, cigarettes, campfires, logging, and
other human activities. That's why Smokey Bear's warning
is still important. But not all fires are bad. In fact,
eliminating fire altogether is not desirable or even
possible! |
