Beware when towing

Did you know that chains dragging from a trailer that you are pulling could be the cause of a forest fire? It can! If you are towing a trailer for camping or other recreational reasons, make sure the chains on the tow assembly are NOT dragging on the ground. Dragging chains could cause sparks on the roads surface. It only takes just one spark to possibly burn thousands of acres of land.

According to nifc.gov, As of today, nationally, 43 large fires have burned more than 391,000 acres. Four new fires were reported. Several fires in California, Nevada, and Utah displayed extreme fire behavior yesterday. Residents near the mineral, Coyote, Big Summit, Turkey Farm Road and Veyo West fires are under evacuation orders. If you spot a fire starting to burn make sure to call 911 to report a forest fire!
