To keep our forests beautiful and green, you "otter" be wildfire aware. During permitted times, prioritize existing fire rings for your campfire and build it in an open area, clear of overhanging branches and flammable materials. When it's time to extinguish, practice the water-and-shovel method: Drown the fire with water, then stir the ashes to ensure everything is cool to the touch. Remember, a single spark can turn into a dangerous wildfire.
