✅We encourage everyone to
🅱️e fire safe
🅱️e weather aware
🅱️e responsible
🅱️urn safely
🅱️urn within Georgia Forestry regulations
🚫Never leave a fire unattended for any amount of time and extinguish fully.

👨🏻‍🚒🧑🏻‍🚒Help us prevent wildfires and keep our volunteers safe by doing the following:
✔️Properly discard ci******es.
✔️Keep vehicles off dry grass.
✔️Avoid anything that creates sparks or open flames.
✔️Use hand tools rather than power tools.
✔️Keep anything that can ignite well away from dry vegetation.
✔️Maintain a 10-foot clear area around campfires or burning materials.
✔️Use grills and smokers on gravel or paved surfaces.
✔️Dispose of ashes only in a metal container with a tight lid.
✔️Keep brakes, tires, and tow chains in good condition.
✔️Stay aware of the weather — heat, low humidity, drought, and wind increase fire risk.
✔️Keep water or a hose nearby anytime you’re using a grill, smoker, fire pit, or burning brush.
Don’t wait until you’re threatened by a wildfire to prepare for one. Clear brush away from your home, plan escape routes, and make an emergency plan with your family.
