Other reminders when it comes to wildfire prevention: if you smoke, you must properly discard your cigarettes—do not throw them into grass or brush. When driving, check that no chains are dragging from your vehicle, as they can throw out sparks and start roadside fires. Also, do not park on grass, as the heat from under your vehicle can ignite the vegetation.
