Andrews:
I'm Richard Andrews, director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. This is an EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory from our agency and the National Safety Council. :10

Announcer:
Do you know how to prevent forest fires? Take Smokey Bear's quick test and see how well you score. You're leaving a campfire behind — should you blow it out, let it burn out, or douse it with water? If you threw on the water, you're cool. To make sure the fire's out, should you stir the ashes with a shovel or stomp on them? Picked the shovel? Hey, you really dig this stuff! If the fire's really OUT, will you keep trees from burning, or keep animals from dying? You're smokin' now — you prevent both. Can Smokey Bear prevent forest fires? No? Well, if Smokey can't, who can? Yeah, right! Only YOU can prevent forest fires! :34

Announcer:
This EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory was brought to you by the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation. :05
