HELP TO PREVENT 

 FOREST FIRES 



E^VERY traveler or camper in forest regions 

 is urged to take the greatest precaution against 

 the starting of forest fires. A match, cigarette 

 or cigarstub tossed thoughtlessly away, a 

 camp-fire left smouldering, may cause injury 

 and distress beyond calculation. 



Precautions with small fires will prevent big 

 ones. All that is required is exercise of the 

 same care with fire in forest regions that one 

 takes without question in his own home or in 

 a city. Before you leave a camp-fire, even for 

 a short time, be sure it is out. The law re- 

 quires it, and imposes a heavy penalty on any- 

 one leaving a fire that is not absolutely put 

 out. Notify the nearest U. S. Forest Ranger 

 or State Fire XVarden of any forest fire you 

 see or hear of. ^ 



Also aid wherever possible in the preserva- 

 tion of wild life and discourage the wasteful 

 gathering of wild flowers.
