Learn more about Smokey's history @ http://www.fs.usda.gov
August 9, 2004 marked the 60th Birthday of Smokey Bear. For 60 years Smokey’s simple message of “Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires” has achieved world recognition. The slogan was modified in 2002 to be “Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires” recognizing that grass and brush fires are equally as threatening and also to emphasize that prescribed fires are acceptable and beneficial. Smokey is recognized as the most successful, longest running public service campaign in the nation. Despite efforts of some to change his message or twist his words, Smokey has remained a consistent, staunch advocate for prevention of carelessly caused wildfires.
