16 Miscellaneous Circular 15, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 

 SIX RULES FOR PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES. 



1. Matches. — Be sure your match is out. Break it in two before 

 you throw it away. 



2. Tobacco. — Be sure your pipe ashes, cigar or cigarette stubs are 

 dead before throwing them away. Do not throw them into brush, 

 leaves, or needles. 



3. Making Camp. — Build a small camp fire. Scrape away all 

 trash and inflammable material from the spot. Build the fire in an 

 open space and not against a tree or log or near brush. Scrape 

 away the trash from around it. 



4. Leaving Camp. — Never leave a camp fire unattended, even for 

 a short time. Quench it with water or earth. 



5. Bonfires. — Never build bonfires in windy weather or where 

 there is the slightest danger of their escaping from control. 



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 at 

 once. Keep in touch with the rangers. 



If you desire information on roads, trails, camping places, hunt- 

 ing, fishing, timber, stock range, or summer home sites, ASK THE 

 FOREST RANGER.
