08/15	0800	"One Less Spark, One Less Wildfire" Forest officials are gathering with Kern County Fire Department, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and many other agencies to announce the campaign "One Less Spark, One Less Wildfire."   Key issues in this year's campaign… Fire danger is at above normal levels. Significantly dry conditions are present due to historically low precipitation. Ninety four percent of wildfires are human caused—power equipment, vehicles, escaped debris burning and arson. Each citizen has the responsibility to prevent human-caused wildfires and to protect their own property by creating fire adapted communities and defensible space around their homes.
