[pct-l] HYOH- campfires

[Edward Anderson]

Ruffwork, I think that's a great idea. A FIRE AWARENESS class during the Kickoff. The class should be illustrated with pictures and videos. Serve free tasty goodies - anything to lure people in.

I'd suggest asking people at PCTADZKO to mention this problem during the classes: 
maybe a "fire awareness" class is needed as lots of people are not aware of the 
wildfire problems people in Southern CA face...
