Fire prevention encouraged in woods
Hunting season is here and
Warm Springs Fire Management
would like to remind hunters and
outdoor enthusiasts that the fire
danger is still extremely high. The
combination of dry weather and
high temperatures this summer
have created a tinderbox situation
in our forests and wildlands- a situ

near future, not until there is a sig

At the present time there is no

Fires start easily and spread very
rapidly in these dry conditions.
Hunters are often times in areas

If you should see a fire, note its
location, get to a phone and call 9-1-1.
Warm Springs lure Manage

wildland fires, and the sooner they
can reach a fire and attack it the
chances of the fire turning into a
large wildland event is decreased.
