Hello, Junior Rangers!

Today we're here to remind everyone about the three P's of fire safety.

* Prevent - Remember to take all the steps you need to make having a campfire safe for every one. This means pets too!

* Plan - Before you leave home on a camping trip, make a list of the things you will need to keep your campfire safe. Shovel? Bucket? What else?

* Practice - Set up a pretend campfire outside and use flashlights for the fire. Place all your safety equipment nearby just as if it were a real fire.
