Fire restrictions, including fireworks, fire-works, have already been established statewide on all state, federal and unincorporated unincorpo-rated lands. "This week marks the beginning be-ginning of this year's fire season, and with our State already coping with unprecedented unprec-edented loss of life and property prop-erty due to record wildfires, extraordinary measures are called for," Governor Gov-ernor Huntsman said. "We must work together to protect life and property in these unusual circumstances, circum-stances, which is why I am calling call-ing on all municipalities munici-palities to ban the personal use of fireworks in their jurisdiction."

While sometimes some-times caused by lightning, the majority of wildfires are human-caused. The term "wildfire" is applied to any unwanted, unplanned fire burning in forests, shrubs or grass. There are three classifications classifica-tions of wildfires. Surface fire is the most common. It burns along the forest floor and moves slowly, killing or damaging trees and brush. Ground fire is most commonly com-monly started by lightning. This wildfire burns on or below the forest floor from the humus layer to the mineral min-eral soil. Crown fires are the most dangerous.

Make sure children have practiced the stop, drop and roll exercise so they know what to do if their clothing catches on fire. Practice this until it is an instinct.

Turn on a light in each room to make the house more visible in heavy smoke. Move flammable furniture from windows and doors. Confine pets to one room so they can be easily located if leaving becomes be-comes necessary. Place valuable papers and memorabilia inside the car for quick departure.
