Did you know mowing can start a wildfire?
When a mower blade strikes a rock or piece of metal, it can create sparks. During hot, dry, and windy conditions, those sparks can ignite dry grass in seconds and quickly spread into a wildfire.
Help create one less spark by mowing responsibly:
đ Avoid mowing on hot, dry, or windy days.
đ Mow before 10 AM when conditions are cooler.
đ Clear rocks and other debris before you begin.
đ Keep water and a shovel or fire extinguisher nearby.
Make safe choices before you use machinery that can create sparks to help prevent the next wildfire.
