PREVENT FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS 



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

 before you throw it away. 



3KERS. — Throw pipe ashes and cigar or cigarette stumps 

 in the dust of the road and stamp on them. 



Making Camp. — Build a small camp fire. Build it in the 

 open, never against a tree or log. Scrape away the trash 

 from all around it. 



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

 time. Extinguish every spark with water or dirt. Fire 

 will smoulder for days or weeks in a big root or in peatlike 

 top soil and needles. 



Fighting Fires. — If you find a fire, try to put it out. If 

 you can't extinguish it, get word at once to the nearest forest 

 raniger or fire warden. Keep in touch with the rangers.
