NEWTOWN, Conn. — With 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States caused by human actions, the National Shooting Sports Foundation® is reminding outdoor recreationists, including target shooters and hunters, to take precautions so they don’t accidentally ignite a wildfire. NSSF’s “Help Prevent Wildfires[3]” public service announcements campaign provides video[4] and audio[5] PSAs, an 8.5 x 11 poster[6], an infographic[7] and shareable social media posts that remind recreational shooters and other outdoor enthusiasts to be mindful of their surroundings and to take precautions, such as:
- Being aware of restrictions on shooting and other activities in fire-prone areas
- Not using tracer rounds, exploding targets or ammunition that is steel-jacketed or contains steel-core components
- Knowing that a vehicle’s hot exhaust systems can ignite dry vegetation
- Making sure all campfires and smoking materials are properly extinguished
