Thank you, firefighters! 🫶👏🙏❤️

A deer moves past a structure wrapped with fire-resistant foil in Olympic National Park, where the nearby Bear Gulch Fire has been burning in steep terrain since early July.

Despite cooler conditions across the region, it is still the middle of wildfire season and temperatures are expected to rise soon. Please stay vigilant, follow local fire restrictions and do your part to prevent any human-caused fires! 📸 Castle Rock Fire, NE Washington Fire

Remember: ONLY YOU can prevent forest fires! Happy birthday to the one and only Smokey Bear! Created on this day in 1944, the fire safety campaign has lived on in print, TV, wood statues, ballgame appearances and even hot-air balloons!

Last year there were almost 58,000 human-caused fires in the U.S., including nearly 3,000 in the Pacific Northwest. Smokey does not approve! Please stay vigilant, follow local fire restrictions and do your part to prevent any human-caused fires!
