Smokey Bear, Wildfire Prevention Specialist
Fire- Wildfire Prevention Specialist
- As a wildfire prevention specialist, I raise public awareness about how human behavior can accidentally cause a wildfire. My goal is for humans to be aware of their actions and take personal responsibility to prevent wildfires.
