The theme of the 2005 Wildfire Prevention Week campaign is “Have a Safe Campfire.” The Ministry of Natural Resources, the Office of the Fire Marshal and the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs have produced a radio public service announcement (PSA) for the campaign.  The PSA script is below.  

Wildfire Prevention Week: Campfire Safety

Sound effects: Crackling wood fire, owl hooting, crickets, music

CHILD: Please, Dad, can I roast just one more marshmallow?

DAD: OK, but then we have to put the fire out and get to bed.

ANNOUNCER: A camping trip doesn’t seem complete without a cozy fire. But with the romance comes responsibility.
Build your fire on bare dirt or rock.
Keep a one metre area around your campfire free from anything that burns and never leave it unattended.
Always keep a pail of water and a shovel handy.
And, before you leave, please make sure that campfire’s out.
Dead Out.
