SA Head Start Meets Smokey Bear - November 2, 2009
Submitted by Ms. Diane Hughes

The San Augustine Head Start class got to meet Smokey Bear last week. The nice people at the Forest Service read the story of how Smokey came to be the symbol for the fire prevention program. The children were fascinated. They learned not to play with matches because they are dangerous and can start fires. Smokey told them his motto; “Only you can prevent forest fires”. The children got to see the bulldozer the fire fighters use to make a “break line” in front of a fire to try and stop it. It was a lot of fun and we appreciate the time the busy forest service took to teach us.
