Many years ago we were following a pickup with three men in the back. Smoke was coming from a box next to the tailgate. We honked and flashed our lights and they pulled over. Seams one of them "threw" a cigarette out. It landed in a box of oily rags. To add to their embarrassment they were Portland Fireman and were traveling through the largest burn area in the state. An area of a 350,000 ac. fire the Tillamook Burn. Aa an old fire fighter I can tell you DON'T THROW OUT CIGARETTES. Treecounter
Good Grief!!!! all that "only you can prevent...' and FIREMEN do this!? I hope you gave 'em a hit in the head! Even here in Ks we have problems on our wildlife areas with fires started by 'flicked' cigs. Good idea on the soad can with water...
