[pct-l] HYOH- campfires

[AsABat]

There HAS been a fire safety talk at ADZ every year right after dinner Friday, along with bears and food storage. We also talk briefly about it during the water report. In recent years it had also been addressed during the short films. 

The problem is reaching those who don't think they need it.

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...
