Unified Fire Authority urges everyone to exercise extreme caution while shooting in the outdoors. Ensure that your target area is free of dry grass and other flammable materials, and always have fire suppression tools on hand. Remember, a single spark can start a devastating wildfire.
After smothering the fire with dirt, the preferred method of extinguishing is to add water to the dirt, stir, and ensure the fire is completely cooled.
