Be A Friend Of Smokey The Bear
May is Wildfire Awareness Month. A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in the wildlands, often near rural communities. Though they can occur anywhere in the US, they more often happen in the Central and western regions of the country. Any type of ecosystem can experience one at any time. On average, 5-10 million acres of woodlands are destroyed each year, costing the taxpayers anywhere between $394-$893 billion. Wildfire season begins in March, but it will often peak in May once the April showers have dried out. If you are nervous about wildfires affecting your family, here are some tips to prepare you and your loved ones for one.
