Smokey Bear and U.S. Forest Service crew members visited Jubilee Kids’ Academy in South Lake Tahoe on April 9  to teach preschool kids about campfire safety.

Illegal and unattended campfires cause more than 90 percent of wildfires in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The Forest Service asks the public to be mindful of the current fire danger and help prevent human-caused wildfires by not building illegal campfires.
