Question Title

Question Title

* 2. Please SparkChange, by pledging to take these actions (check each important commitment to make a big difference):

Only start a campfire in an approved fire pit, or an area cleared of all vegetation.

Never leave a fire unattended.

Always make sure your fire is completely doused with water and smothered with dirt before leaving.

Don’t start a fire on a windy day.

Keep lighters and matches out of the reach of children.

Don’t burn yard waste or debris without checking with your local fire department.

When lighting fireworks, have a fire extinguisher handy; have a bucket of water or garden hose available to wet down the surrounding vegetation.

Don’t park a hot car or other machine in dry grass.

Tractors, off-road vehicles and equipment, such as chainsaws, must have spark arrestors.

Secure tow chains to ensure they don't drag, causing sparks and fire risk.

When target shooting, choose a backstop that is free of rocks and dry grass.

Remember the complete impact of wildfire when playing, working or traveling in Utah.
