We're In This Together! As always, your Vista Firefighters remind you to and download to

It only takes one spark on dry grass or dry vegetation to start a *wildfire during conditions as these.
Ensure there are no dragging chains on your towed vehicles, never pull over onto areas with dry grass or brush, and use a weed-whacker to prevent sparks.
Be prepared with a shovel, fire extinguisher, and cell phone in the event that a spark from equipment causes a fire.

*The most common causes of wildfires are: dragging trailer safety chains, rims from flat tires striking pavement, vehicles parking or driving over dry vegetation, tossed ci******es, abandoned campfires, equipment use during red flag warning, fireworks, and the discharge of fi****ms in areas with dry vegetation.
