Never park your vehicle on dry grass.
Never throw a lighted cigarette out the window of a vehicle.
Grease trailer wheels, check tires, and ensure safety chains are not touching the ground.
Avoid driving through tall grass.
Sparks from chainsaws, welding torches, and other equipment can cause wild fires.
Stay calm during an emergency, and call 911 immediately.
