Kdun – Campfire Caution takes the spotlight this May as the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) teams up with the Oregon Department of Forestry and several other agencies to mark Wildfire Awareness Month. With more people heading outdoors as the weather warms, officials are urging visitors to Oregon’s parks to take fire safety seriously.
May is not just the start of camping season it’s also a critical time to promote fire prevention. Each year, many wildfires are caused by careless campfire use. Through this statewide campaign, OPRD hopes to remind the public that even one unattended flame can lead to devastating consequences.
“Campfire Caution is more than a phrase it’s a call to action,” said an OPRD spokesperson. “We want everyone to enjoy the outdoors safely and responsibly.”

OPRD encourages all visitors to follow essential fire safety rules while enjoying Oregon’s scenic campgrounds:
Practicing campfire caution can prevent human-caused wildfires, which threaten natural habitats, communities, and lives.
Campfire Caution is the heart of a broader collaboration involving local, state, and national partners. Educational materials, increased ranger presence, and social media campaigns are all being used to spread awareness this month.
By observing fire safety guidelines, every visitor plays a role in protecting Oregon’s parks and forests. Campfire caution isn’t just a seasonal message it’s a year-round responsibility.
Public engagement is also a crucial part of the campaign. Throughout May, OPRD and its partners will host educational events, distribute printed materials at park entrances, and share digital content to reach a wider audience. By empowering visitors with knowledge and simple steps to follow, the agencies aim to create a culture of prevention. Campfire Caution isn’t just a temporary message for peak fire season it’s a mindset that every camper should carry year-round.
