Wildfire Prevention
Properly maintained and safe use of outdoor equipment and vehicles can greatly reduce the chances of sparking a wildfire. During dry periods, avoid mowing around dead grass and weeds and watch out for rocks near mowing operations; metal blades can strike rocks and create sparks. When working or recreating in the Forest Protection Area, be prepared to extinguish an accidental fire by having water and a shovel. A small fire actioned early may avoid the catastrophic impacts of large severe wildfire. REPORT WILDFIRES call 310-FIRE #FIRE
