⚽ Play by the rules. Campfire safety fouls? That gets a red card. Before you build a campfire, make sure you have a valid California Campfire Permit. Know the rules: 🟨 Keep flammable materials at least 5 feet away 🟥 Keep your fire small and manageable 🚨 NEVER leave a campfire unattended  💧 Extinguish the fire correctly: drown, stir, and make sure it’s cool and out No fouls means you’re preventing wildfires. #WorldCup #CampfireSafety #FIFA #OneLessSpark #California

☀️ California heat is turning up. Higher temperatures increase the risk of heat-related illness, wildfire activity, and incidents in and around the water. Take steps to protect yourself and others: 💧 Stay hydrated and check on your friends and family 🔥 Help prevent wildfires – avoid ALL activities that create sparks 🌊 Stay water safe and be aware of changing conditions Stay cool and safe, California. #CALFIRE #ReadyForWildfire #ExtremeHeat #HeatSafety #OneLessSpark #WaterSafety

About 95% of California wildfires are started by people, often without realizing it. By changing our behavior, especially during hot, dry, or windy conditions, we can stop wildfires before they start. Here's how you can help prevent wildfires: 🔧 Inspect equipment before outdoor work—metal on metal creates sparks 🌾 Skip mowing dry grass in the afternoon heat—friction alone can ignite it ⛓ Keep trailer chains off the ground—sparks fly when metal hits pavement 🔥 Never leave campfires, BBQs, or power tools unattended in dry conditions Every one of us can help stop a wildfire before it starts. Do your part. #ReadyForWildfire #CALFIRE #OneLessSpark #DoYourPart #Preparedness

🚨 RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT! Residents of Lassen County and adjacent communities impacted by gusty winds and low humidity are encouraged to practice fire-safe behavior due to a Red Flag Warning in effect 11 a.m. today through 11 p.m. Saturday. During these conditions, fires start easily and spread quickly. #OneLessSpark can make all the difference: 🔥 Avoid outdoor burning 🔥 Secure trailer chains 🔥 Use caution with equipment and vehicles in dry grass 🔥 Follow local fire restrictions 🔥 Report signs of smoke or fire immediately Monitor Red Flag Warnings and current fire conditions at fire.ca.gov. #CALFIRE #RedFlagWarning #WildfirePreparedness

Red Flag Warning does not mean a wildfire has started. It’s a weather alert that tells us conditions are right for a fire to start easily and spread quickly: dry vegetation, low humidity, warm temperatures, and strong winds. If you live in California, think of it as a “high fire risk day” where even a small spark can turn into a fast-moving wildfire. Homeowners should prepare by moving anything that can burn inside or away from the home. On Red Flag Warning days, avoid ALL activities that can create sparks—like mowing dry grass, dragging chains, or using heavy equipment outdoors. See smoke or fire? Call it in right away. #OneLessSpark #ReadyForWildfire #RedFlagWarnings #CAwx

🔥 Wildfire Update – Georgia (5/19/26) In the last seven days, the Georgia Forestry Commission responded to 56 wildfires that burned a combined 249.6 acres statewide. These numbers do not include: • The Pineland Rd Fire, which has burned 32,031 acres and remains 90% contained (acreage decreased due to more accurate mapping) • The Highway 82 Fire, which has burned 22,419 acres and remains 90% contained While containment remains strong, both of these fires are still active. Crews continue daily monitoring for hotspots, smoke, and potential reburns as mop-up operations continue. ⚠️ Safety Reminders: ➡️ Please continue to stay out of active fire areas unless absolutely necessary ➡️ 🚁 Keep drones away from wildfire operations—active airspace restrictions may still be in place ➡️ Use caution if traveling near fire areas where smoke may impact visibility ➡️ For road closure information, please check directly with your local authorities ➡️ Even with improving conditions, wildfire prevention still matters—one spark can quickly become a wildfire 📲 Stay informed: • Active wildfire information: georgiafc.firesponse.com/pub… • Wildfire updates, resources, and safety information: gatrees.org/current-wildfire… Thank you to the firefighters, pilots, dispatchers, emergency managers, partner agencies, and communities who continue supporting wildfire response efforts across Georgia.

🔥 Windy & dry conditions increase the threat of rapid fire spread through the afternoon & early evening. Do your part to create #OneLessSpark! 🌬️ Hazardous crosswinds & blowing dust from southwesterly winds gusting to 45 mph to 55 mph over northeastern NM today. #NMwx

Wildfires are caused by a spark in the presence of fuel and oxygen. Strong winds, high temperatures, low humidity and drought conditions can further impact the fire’s spread. Please do your part to create #OneLessSpark! #nmwx #nmfire

🔥 Why Are Firefighters Still Out There? This is why. What you’re seeing in this photo is a reburn caused by needlecast—a common wildfire challenge in Georgia’s pine forests. Needlecast happens when dry pine needles fall in thick layers across the forest floor. Those needles create highly flammable fuel that can hold heat, smolder unnoticed, and reignite long after the main fire front has passed. That’s exactly why mop-up operations are so critical. Even when containment numbers improve and flames are no longer making headlines, hidden heat can remain. A single hotspot in heavy needlecast can flare back up, cross containment lines, and put firefighters, nearby communities, and property at risk all over again. This photo was taken a couple of days ago on the Highway 82 Fire—a reminder that these are still active incidents, and the work is not done. Mop-up may not be the most visible part of wildfire response, but it is some of the most important work our crews do. Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia. #WildfireEducation #WildfireResponse #GeorgiaForestry #EmergencyResponse #FirstResponders #OneLessSpark

🔥 Some days are far more dangerous than others when it comes to wildfire. Hot temperatures, low humidity, and wind can turn one small spark into a fast-moving fire. Take a moment to check conditions, follow restrictions, and stay aware before heading outdoors. Thank you to all the firefighters, dispatchers, crews, and support personnel working every day to help protect communities and public lands. 💚 👉 “Awareness is one of the easiest ways to help prevent wildfires.” 🌲 #WildfireAwarenessMonth #ReadyForWildfire #FireWeather #OneLessSpark #WildfirePrevention #USFS #PublicLands #CLBLP

As wildfire conditions improve, the State Forester burn ban has been lifted in all counties. 🔗 Executive Order: gatrees.org/resources/execut… This is welcome progress—and a testament to the incredible work of wildland firefighters, first responders, and partner agencies who have worked around the clock over the past several weeks. ⚠️ A few important reminders: ➡️ While the State Forester’s wildfire burn ban has been lifted, some counties may still have local burn restrictions or ordinances in place. Always check with local officials before conducting outdoor burning. ➡️ The Georgia EPD summer burn ban is still in effect for 54 counties, primarily in and around metro Atlanta, through October 1. That seasonal restriction remains in place regardless of current wildfire conditions. ➡️ Even with improved conditions, parts of Georgia remain dry, and wildfire risk has not disappeared. It still only takes one spark to start a wildfire. We’re grateful for the progress being made—and for every Georgian who helped by taking precautions, following restrictions, and supporting wildfire response efforts.
