The total devastation from wildfires across California and other areas of the USA have bought a lot of attention to a severe problem. With the wet winter and the very dry summers we all need to start trying our best to help prevent future wild fires.

> Report any unattended fires that you may see while you are out and about. If you notice a fire getting out of control and no one else is around do not hesitate to call 911 or the local fire department.

> Make sure to extinguish fire pits and camp fires when you are done. If you go camping and make a fire, firstly make sure not to leave it unattended for any period of time. Once you are done, make sure to completely extinguish it, using water on the ashes to put out any ambers.

> Never throw lit cigarettes, smoking materials or matches out of a moving car or onto the ground as they all have enough heat to start a fire.

> Follow local rules about fireworks and if you can use fireworks make sure to do it in an open area away from trees and wooded areas.

If a wild fire does occur make sure to stay safe!
