8.  Don’t be any more careless with fire in the woods than you are with fire in your own home.

9.  Don’t be idle when you discover a fire in the woods; if you can’t put it out yourself, get help.  Where a forest guard, ranger or state fire warden can be reached, call him up on the nearest telephone you can find.

10.  Don’t forget that human thoughtlessness and negligence are the causes of more than half of the forest fires in this country, and that the smallest spark may start a conflagration that will result in loss of life and destruction of timber and young growth valuable not only for lumber but for their influence in helping to prevent flood, erosion, and drought.—­U.S.  Dept.  Agri., Forest Service.
