When planning a trip to an Outdoor area, you should first develop an Outdoor Safety Trip Plan to make sure you are traveling to a safe environment, and that you are prepared with the proper equipment to help keep the environment free of accidental wildfire. |
|
| 1. |
Know your area.
It is important to be familiar with the area you are traveling to – if camping, you should make sure to plan an escape route should you need to evacuate the area. |
| 2. |
Develop a checklist.
By following a few simple rules and reminders, you can help keep our outdoor park and woodland areas safe. |
| 3. |
Are fire or travel restrictions in effect?
Call the local Fire Department, Forest Service, BLM, State or other Federal Agency to make sure the area you are traveling to is restriction-free. |
| 4. |
Weather Predictions.
If you are traveling during fire season, it is best to avoid potentially dangerous weather patterns. |
| 5. |
Select your campsite wisely.
You should always use existing campsites and established fire rings when camping or building a fire. |
