Cigarette Butts

Posted on August 8, 2023 under: Announcements

🚬Don’t be a butt!

🔥A small fire can become a large fire very quickly, especially in dry
conditions! Tossing cigarette butts out your vehicle window can easily start
a fire.

🌧️Even though there has been a bit of moisture, things are still very dry!
Throwing a butt out your window can result in severe damages to farmers,
ranchers and producers throughout the Special Areas.

🚬Dispose of cigarette butts responsibly – don’t be a butt!
