No one can predict when or where the next tragic fire will happen. That's why it's important that we all do our jobs and practice fire prevention in every way. Make it your business to look for fire hazards... in the home, on your property and where you work. And when you're traveling, keep an eye out for smoke, and if you see it, report it. This year, with heavy growth of wild grasses and economic crops, the fuel for fire is abundant. Be extra careful when traveling the wide open spaces and forest lands of Eastern Oregon because the FIRE DANGER IS HERE NOW. Carry the phone numbers on this page with you and tape an extra copy to your phone book or shop wall. The people on the other end of the line are ready to bring a crew into action on moment's notice. For added safety, put a shovel, axe and small bucket in your car's trunk or pickup. REPORT ALL FIRES IMMEDIATELY. And, while you're thinking about it, make a spot check around your home. ..here's a few tips. Are lumber and poles, brush and trash, cleared away from buildings? Are useless old sheds or buildings torn down? Are hoses readily available around the yard outbuildings? and Are combustibles stored safely, in cooler areas? (This means approved containers for gas and oil not glass jugs.) Is equipment properly equipped with mufflers or spark arrestors? (Farm tractors, power saws, recreational vehicles, and to a lesser extent, cars, often times are the cause of rural fires. WATCH BEHIND YOU when operating power machinery. Are YOU ready, if a fire breaks out? This message brought to you, in the public interest, by: rH Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative, Inc.
