Fires at the Lake

 Bear Lake State Park 


· 

With the warm, dry weather we are experiencing, a visit to Bear Lake is a refreshing option. These few incidents have occurred around the lake in just the last four days. A few things to remember:

1- Make sure your vessel has been checked for any mechanical issues, ventilation system works correctly, you have run your blower for 2 minutes before starting the engine, and your fire extinguisher is up to date. 

2- Do NOT discard hot charcoal into any trash receptacle before ensuring that it has been fully extinguished. 

3- Prior to leaving with the camper, make sure your propane is off, trailer brakes are working correctly, and chains are not dragging on the roadway. 

With two of these incidents, we were extremely lucky that they didn’t spread into a large wildfire. Please be safe while recreating and hope to see you soon.
