Fireworks Safety: Fireworks are a highlight of summer, but it’s crucial to practice fire safety. If hot residue from your fireworks starts a wildland fire, you could be held responsible for the cost of extinguishing it. Consider attending organized fireworks events instead of setting off your own.
Help Fight Forest Fires: When waterbombers approach a body of water, move close to the shore to allow them to scoop safely. A waterbomber will not scoop from a lake or river if encroaching watercraft pose a safety hazard. Be safe, and stay clear of waterbombers.
