Spark Safety, Not Wildfires!
How to Completely Extinguish a Campfire:
Drown and stir the coals with a metal shovel and drown again
Feel with the back of your hand to ensure it's not smoldering
Turn wood and coals to wet all sides
Shovel on some dirt to fully smother it
Adventure’s First Stop, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada, Nevada Department of Forestry, U.S. Forest Service – Humboldt – Toiyabe National Forest, and the Reno Fire Department joined the Reno community today at Maverik to launch Maverik and BLM’s partnership focused on regional fire prevention awareness.
Humans cause an average of 80% of all wildland fires on BLM public lands, and a majority of all wildland fires in Nevada. These wildfires threaten people, homes, and precious natural resources - and firefighters risk their lives to suppress these preventable incidents. To thwart these damaging human caused wildfires, the BLM and Maverik will continue to educate the public about how they can avoid starting these incidents. Stay tuned for these fun but informative PSAs to arrive at a Maverik store near you.
