(Photo by Sam Newton) Fourth of July loaded with fire danger Like others in the USA, Oregon residents celebrate the Fourth of July with fire. Humble sparklers, the soaring pyrotechnics of co mmunit y displays, campfire cookouts and the use of recreational vehicles sometimes invite an un- welcome guest on Inde- pendence Day: wildfire. Oregon’s fire statistics record numerous blazes started by fireworks, open fires and off-road vehicles, often clustered around the July 4 weekend. Here are some safety tips to follow. Fireworks and the for- est simply don’t mix. This time of year the trees, shrubs and grass combine to make a fuel bed ready for ignition by an errant spark. The specter of li- ability looms over a fire started by a careless act, even a child's. An open fire requires constant attention. Before leaving a campsite, even for a few minutes, put the fire out. Staying in a desig- nated campground is the best way to have a safe and legal campfire. No smoke equals no fire is a faulty equation. It could still be smoldering under the sur- face ashes, only to be re- kindled later by a breeze. Smoking in the forests puts the lives of trees at risk.

There’s also a liability for tossing a butt out of the car. Wildland fire investi- gators have made many successful cases based on the remains of a cigarette found at the scene. For many Oregonians, forest recreation is a mo- torized experience. But off the road, the catalytic con- verter of an SUV and the muffler of a motorcycle or quad pose a fire threat. In summer, avoid driving or riding in tall grass. Check the catalytic converter for wear, and clear any grass or twigs that have accumu- lated on or near it. The spark arrester on an all- terrain vehicle should also be checked for proper function. Always carry a fire extinguisher. During high fire danger, resource agencies restrict motorized travel to established roads.
