Wildfire Awareness & Prevention
Every 24 hours, wildfires consume thousands of acres of forest, destroy communities, and reshape landscapes forever. The time to act is now.
Since you opened this page, an estimated 0 acres of forest have been lost to wildfire somewhere on Earth.
85% of wildfires are caused by humans. That means 85% are preventable. Every small action creates a ripple that can save thousands of acres.
Never leave a campfire unattended. Drown it, stir the ashes, drown it again. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.
Always check local fire restrictions before any outdoor burning. During red flag warnings, even a spark can ignite catastrophic wildfires.
Create a 100-foot buffer of cleared vegetation around structures. This zone can mean the difference between loss and survival.
If you see smoke or fire, call 911 immediately. Early detection is the most critical factor in containment.
Support organizations on the front lines funding firefighter equipment and community evacuation.
