Prevention
Inyo National Forest has Forest Protection Technicians (FPT's or Patrols) placed throughout the forest on shifts to patrol the forest daily to watch for fires, enforce forest laws and regulations, and help educate the community and our forest visitors about preventing wildfires.
Prevention Program
Since 1944, Smokey’s been working hard to inspire Americans to prevent wildfires.
Requesting Smokey Bear's presence at an event is granted on a case-by-case basis and depends on staffing availability. Events must have a fire prevention theme. Please call the Public Affairs Officer so they may direct your request to the right person at (760) 873-2427.
