To help promote awareness and prevention of wildfires, the Washington State Department of National Resources (DNR) has released four new animated safety explainer videos.
Teaming up with Next Day Animations, the DNR hopes that the videos will help reduce human-caused wildfires, as they grow larger and faster.
“We’re all in it together when it comes to wildfire. That’s why I’m thrilled to share these videos about how to be better prepared for wildfires, and how to be one less spark,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. “In recent years, our investments have paid off and we’ve kept more than 95% of our fires to less than 10 acres, but humans still cause 90% of wildfires. We want to offer tools and knowledge to communities to help them stay safe as our fire seasons grow longer and hotter.”
