😂 When you realize fire safety isn’t just about putting out fires... it’s about preventing them! Making safety fun is what we do! Share if you agree!

A friendly reminder everyone we are on Stage 1 fire restrictions here in Southern Nevada and we always urge you to check the areas specific restrictions when out in our public lands.

This morning the crew responded to an abandoned camp fire that had the spread potential to become an even bigger wildfire. No worries the wildfire is contained and was located near Echo trail. The fire is being investigated by our forest service partners and they had a great hand in helping with containment as well. Please make sure to have your camp fires in designated areas and to always make sure they are completely out. Use the Drown, Stir, Feel method and make sure all the ash is completely cool by checking with the back of your hand.  Stay safe out there and enjoy the outdoors!
