Only you can prevent wildfires. Show your commitment to making a difference. Sign the pledge to help stop the spread of wildfires.
Wildfires are any unplanned fires that burn in forests and other wildlands such as shrub or grass communities. They’re a powerful natural force we must fully understand, and respect, in order to best help control. Nearly nine out of ten wildfires nationwide are still caused by humans.
