Hello, this is Harrison Ford. My family and I have lived in Wyoming long enough to know that lightning fires play an important role in our ecosystem, but careless human-caused fires don't. It's exceptionally dry and fire restrictions are in place. If you think camping without a campfire is disappointing, try camping without a forest. Check tetonfires.com for the latest information on current fires and restrictions. Know before you go! |
Dead-out Fire, Cold as your Dog's Nose I'm Harrison Ford. Make sure your campfire is dead-out. Bring a bucket for water, have a shovel to stir your fire, and take home peace of mind. Cold and wet should describe more than your dog's nose. For information visit tetonfires.com. This message is brought to you from Teton Interagency Fire and this radio station. Know before you go! |

I'm Harrison Ford. We've all seen what an uncontrolled wildfire can do to a community. We are the first line of defense when it comes to protecting our homes. Is your home prepared for a wildfire?

Don't be Surprised by Wildfire The West is full of surprises. You can happen upon a bear, or a sudden change in the weather. But there is one thing you can be sure of, and that is a dead-out campfire. Just a bucket of water and a shovel is all you need. I'm Harrison Ford, asking you to keep your campfire from becoming a wildfire. The West has enough surprises of its own. For information visit tetonfires.com. Know before you go!

I'm Harrison Ford and I've lived more than two decades in Wyoming. I love the open spaces, the wildness, the beauty that is the West. Human-caused fires are not part of that recipe. It's dry out. Douse your campfire until it is cool to the touch. Put it out. For information visit tetonfires.com. This message is brought to you from Teton Interagency Fire and this radio station.
