The phrase "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" is indelibly linked to Smokey Bear, one of the most enduring symbols of public service campaigns in the United States. Originating in 1944 as a collaboration between the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters, the Smokey Bear campaign aimed to prevent wildfires by raising awareness and encouraging responsible behavior when it came to fire safety.
The original phrase was tweaked in 2001 to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires." This change wasn't just cosmetic; it was intentional and nuanced. The term "forest fires" was limited in its scope, focusing only on wooded areas. However, wildfires can occur in various landscapes, including grasslands, scrublands, and more. By changing the term to "wildfires," the campaign broadened its reach and relevance, encapsulating all forms of uncontrolled fires that could be prevented by human intervention.

Love these T-shirts
We’ve purchased about a dozen shirts from The Mitten State. Always satisfied with the quality of materials, fit, and designs. Especially love the Smokey the Bear shirts.
Traditionally, Up North in Michigan begins around Clare and goes up to The Bridge. What's your Up North? Whatever it is, when the weather warms up we know we'd rather be there.

The MOST legendary storm in Michigan history!
The Great Blizzard of '78 covered Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes region on January 25th, 1978. For days, snow piled high, shutting down highways, grocery stores, and municipal buildings.

78 Blizzard
Love the tee shirt. I did survive the blizzard. I would like it if this came in a long sleeve shirt or a sweatshirt.

I lived it, so had to have it
Yep, I have photos of snowdrifts taller than me when the storm hit, so I wanted the shirt for fun. I've noticed their sizes fit a little snugger, so went with large instead of medium and it's perfect.

I was born 2 weeks before the BIG BLIZZARD! I loved the design of this shirt and it is buttery soft. The blue and red made it a perfect shirt for 4th of July.
