 water or earth. Be sure it is OUT. 



5. Bonfires. Never build bonfires in windy 

 weather or where there is the slightest danger of 

 their escaping from control. Don't make them

6. Fighting fires. If you find a fire, try to 

 put it out. If you can't, get word of it to the 

 nearest United States forest ranger or State fire 

 warden at once. 



Remember " minutes count" in reporting 

 forest fires.
