CAL FIRE(@CAL_FIRE):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: 🚜 Avoid mowing on hot, dry, or windy days. 🚜 Mow before 10 AM when conditions are cooler. 🚜 Clear rocks and other debris before you begin. 🚜 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. #OneLessSpark #ReadyForWildfire #WildfirePrevention #CALFIRE #ProtectCalifornia
