Wildfire Prevention

For more than 80 years, Smokey Bear has taught us about our role in preventing unwanted, human-caused wildfires and protecting our nation’s beautiful wildlands. His powerful message, “Only you can prevent wildfires” is at the heart of America’s longest-running PSA campaign.

Smokey’s message remains relevant today, as nearly nine out of ten wildfires nationwide are caused by humans and can be prevented. Whether we’re passing the time in public lands or in our own backyards, we all have a role to play in protecting our safe places by acting responsibly and doing our part to help prevent wildfires.
