Today we celebrate a famous birthday in the world of fire prevention: Smokey Bear!

You’ve seen the hat, the shovel, and the famous line: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires.” But there’s more to the story – here are some bear-ly known facts:

🐻 Smokey Bear was created in 1944 as part of a World War II-era wildfire prevention campaign focused on protecting forests and wartime resources. A real bear cub (that was rescued from a wildfire!) later became the living symbol that helped bring the message to life.
🐻 The famous phrase “Only YOU can prevent wildfires” wasn’t introduced until 1947.
🐻 Smokey has his own ZIP Code: 20252. Mail sent there actually reaches him through the U.S. Postal Service.

82 years of Smokey Bear, and here’s what still matters most: most wildfires are human caused, which means most wildfires are preventable.

Every campfire, cigarette, equipment use, and debris burn deserves your full attention. Fire is a great tool, but it’s also a responsibility. Only YOU can prevent wildfires!

🎂Happy birthday, Smokey!
