Fire Chief told me to break in my new boots... so off to the Mesa I went. 🥾⛰️ Just call it "field" training. Gotta make sure the gear is ready for fire season! 🔥🌲

🔥Fire Season is Here: Are You Being SMART?

​As the weather heats up, the risk of wildfires in our community increases. The Grand Valley Fire Protection District wants to remind everyone that wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility.
​Before you head out to work, camp, or travel, remember the S.M.A.R.T. rules to keep our valley safe.

There are certain rules we hold sacred in the fire service. Don’t burn the dinner, check your gear, and NEVER, EVER SAY THE 'Q' WORD.
​Look at this cartoon. This is what happens when someone says, "Wow, it's really q---- in here tonight." LOL! We'll keep a handle on it! Enjoy your weekends!🤦‍♂️🚒💨

Tips from Smokey himself!👍

Go with the flow! 📉 I made a chart to keep your road trip on the right track.

Sparks from your vehicle can start a wildfire, so take a look and see if you’re following the safest route. Visit my website, SmokeyBear.com, for more tips.

Life jackets don't ruin the day, they save it!🌊

Getting out on the water this holiday weekend? Have a great time, and remember, cold water immersion shock can put you in danger no matter how well you swim.
