FIRE DANGER!!!

You could be the difference between a campfire and a wildfire. Refrain from any outdoor burning when fire bans are in place.

If you do decide to have a campfire, be sure to:
 *  Keep a water source next to your campfire.
 *  Properly extinguish your campfire when you are finished by dousing with water and stirring dirt in with a shovel.
 *  Use the back of your hand to detect if heat is still coming from the fire or ring. If you can feel heat, the fire is not out. *  Douse and stir again.
 *  Spray down the metal ring of your campfire. The heat from that can cause dry grass to catch fire.
 *  Never leave your fire unattended, not even for a minute.

 *  Call 911 immediately if you see a wildfire.
