Summer nights around a campfire are the best, but let's enjoy them safely! Aways check for local burn bans and make sure the fire is out. Drown, stir, down, feel - if it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave! For more tips to #BeOutdoorSafe, visit https://t.co/76TcCohnPK

Many human-caused wildfires occur along roadways & near recreational areas from vehicles. It only takes a few minutes to ensure your vehicle is properly maintained & has the adequate safety equipment. #RecreateResponsibly & have #FireSense while enjoying your #PublicLands.

Crew members are completing a shaded fuel break to reduce wildfire risk to homes near the #RobertsonDrawFire. Shaded fuel breaks create an area of reduced vegetation but retain mature tree canopy. They act as a buffer to slow fire intensity by reducing fuel density.
