🔥 HOT. DRY. BUSY. All across California, we have been responding to hundreds of wildfires as fire activity continues to increase. From aircraft to crews on the ground, every response is a coordinated effort to keep fires small and protect lives, property, and natural resources. Hot temperatures, dry vegetation, and low humidity mean any new ignition has the potential to spread rapidly. Help reduce the risk: 🔥 Don't park on dry grass. 🚗 Secure trailer chains so they don't drag. 🌾 Don’t mow during the hottest and/or windiest parts of the day. 🏕 Follow local fire restrictions and fully extinguish campfires. 🏡 Prepare your home for wildfire. #ReadyForWildfire# #OneLessSpark# #CALFIRE# #WildfireSafety# #PreventWildfires#

California has a goat problem 😂 A goat herding company that uses 4,000 goats to clear vegetation and help prevent wildfires says a change in state wage rules could push labor costs as high as $240,000 PER HERDER per year. So the company put up $50,000 on a contract that could pay them $500,000 if California doesn’t change the rules by October. We’ve reached the point where goat herders need a financial hedge against California regulations.

Happy Birthday, Smokey Bear! For generations, he's reminded us that protecting our forests starts with each of us—helping save millions of acres of forest, wildlife habitat, and communities. Here in Wyoming, healthy forests matter. Remember: Only YOU can prevent wildfires.
