The Bismarck Fire Department has issued a reminder to the public regarding the safe disposal of smoking materials. The department emphasizes the importance of ensuring that cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking items are completely extinguished before being discarded. This can be done by making sure they are cool to the touch when placed in an ashtray or at a designated smoking station.
The department warns that during a burn ban, even a small spark from improperly disposed smoking materials can ignite dry grass, leaves, or debris, potentially leading to wildfires that spread quickly. They urge everyone to exercise caution and responsibility when discarding smoking materials.
"Put it Out, All the Way, Every Time," is the message being promoted by the Bismarck Fire Department to prevent accidental fires and ensure community safety.
