Months ago, I called on Montanans to learn how to live with this virus. Now, I am calling on you to continue applying what we as a state and nation have learned stops the spread: mask up, wash your hands, stay home when sick, and avoid gatherings that do not adhere to guidelines.

Do you know what to do if you're out hunting and spot a wildfire? 馃 Report it! Wildfires can spread quickly, so calling 9-1-1 to report smoke is important! 馃敟 #MyMontanaHunt #MTFire #HunterEd #KeepMontanaGreen

Wildfire smoke and COVID-19: two great reasons to stay safe by wearing a mask! Irritated lungs from wildfire smoke can increase susceptibility to COVID-19 and worsen symptoms. #MaskUpMT #wildfiresmoke #keepmontanagreen

Drown, stir, and drown again until cold to the touch. It only takes one spark to start a wildfire! Please recreate responsibly. #keepmontanagreen #onlyyou

Hunting this week? Don't let your warming fire start the next wildfire! Keep your fire away from vegetation, and drown it until it's cold to the touch. #MyMTHunt #Mthunt #KeepMontanaGreen

Campfires are a major cause of wildfire. Never leave a fire unattended, keep your fires small, and always leave a fire cold to the touch. One less spark, one less wildfire! Learn more at KeepMontanaGreen.com. #KeepMontanaGreen #OnlyYou

Campfires are a major source of human-caused wildfire! Check for fire restrictions at firerestrictions.us, only use established fire rings, and never leave a fire unattended. Drown your fires until cold to the touch! #KeepMontanaGreen #BeOutdoorSafe

Whether in the backyard or deep in the backcountry, campfires = a good time. But wildfire prevention is everyone's responsibility! Never leave campfires unattended, and when you're done, drown, stir, drown, feel. It only takes one spark! #Firewise #KeepMontanaGreen #BeOutdoorSafe

MYTH: Lightening causes most wildfires.
FACT: Humans cause about 2/3 of wildfires in Montana. Debris burning, campfires, and equipment are the top causes! #Firewise

To reduce your home's wildfire risk, remove large woody plants, like juniper, from within 5 feet of the house. Use rock mulch or small leafy plants instead. #FireAdaptedMT #DefensibleSpace
