Happy #LaborDay! If you're celebrating the unofficial end of summer with a BBQ, remember: never dump hot coals on the ground - it could start a wildfire. #OnlyYou can prevent wildfires.

We’re thrilled to announce that three large wildfires—including the Bootleg fire which burned across 413,000 acres for 39 days—are 100% contained as of this morning. Huge thanks to our dedicated & incredibly skilled fire personnel for this great accomplishment.

If you’re spending time roasting marshmallows around a fire this summer, remember the steps to put that fire all the way out: Drown, stir, drown, feel! #OnlyYou can prevent wildfires. To help keep our safe places safe, visit https://t.co/l0RIHlJzIU.

If you find yourself craving time in nature today, you can celebrate National Public Lands Day by volunteering. Educate yourself on how to keep public lands safe by visiting https://t.co/l0RIHlJzIU or the @forestservice & @StateForesters websites. #NPLD #BeOutdoorSafe #repost

[Gifford Pinchot National Forest @GPNF]

Effective Sept 9, 2020: Closure Order 06-03-00-20-06 temporarily prohibits the building, maintaining, or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, including charcoal fire or pellet fire, while on the @GPNF. This includes all developed and dispersed areas. #recreateresponsibly

[Forest Service NW @ForestServiceNW]

This is not the time to plan a visit to the forest! 10,000's of residents are evacuated & many more are trying to evacuate, firefighters are mobilizing, & extreme winds are driving fires. Our forests will be here when fires are under control! Keep roads clear for emergency crews.

[Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF @MtBakerSnoNF]

Thank you to all the land stewards out there that are helping us keep our national forest clean and enjoyable for future visitors!

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Parks across the country provide endless opportunities for recreational activities for everyone from the casual sightseer to the experienced adventurer. With your help, we can enjoy these special places while preserving them for future generations to enjoy.

#DYK Global forests remove about 1/3 of fossil fuel emissions annually? Thank a tree the next time you take a deep breath #CleanAirDay

[U.S. Department of the Interior @Interior]

Happy Labor Day! Thanks to all of the hard workers, especially our Interior employees, who make our country the amazing place it is. We hope you get some rest & relaxation soon

[Forest Service NW @ForestServiceNW]

A record fire weather pattern has hit the NW moving it to Preparedness Level 5, the highest level on the scale, indicating extreme potential for fire activity. Help our fire teams who continue to battle fires under these extreme conditions. A single spark can start a #wildfire!
