*With harvest season underway, it is important to be mindful that agricultural equipment can inadvertently start a wildfire. Regularly inspect your machines and clear any debris or vegetation from around hot spots. This practice can help prevent wildfires caused by overheated debris. Always carry basic firefighting equipment including a shovel, fire extinguisher and/or water supply and a bucket on your farming equipment.
