Smokey the Bear!

What a great day! Smokey the Bear and the U.S. Forest Service visited first grade today. We learned all the ways fires can start. NINE out of TEN fires are made from human mistakes. Only 1 fire in 10 is from lightning, or natural causes! We watched a video explaining who lives in the forest, and how "Junior Forest Rangers" can keep our forests "fire free". Please ask your first grader what they learned. Five Simple Rules of Fire Safety-
1. Only you can prevent forest fires!
2. Always be careful with fire.
3. Never play with matches or lighters.
4. Always watch your campfire.
5. Make sure your fire is completely out before you leave it.
