An American icon with a legacy that has spanned generations! Smokey Bear's impact is not just historical but ongoing. With wildfire prevention more critical than ever due to climate change and urban expansion into wild areas, Smokey's message continues to be vital. He even has a social media presence, staying relevant to new generations.

Very high quality, great customer service! Would recommend!
In the spring of 1950, crews of forest rangers fought to contain a massive wildfire in the Capitan Mountains. A lone bear cub took refuge in a tree, narrowly escaping with his life, but with badly burned paws and hind legs. Rangers treated the cub's injuries and news spread nationwide of the little bear that survived. People wrote and called in to see about his recovery, prompting the chief of the Forest Service to designate him as the symbol of conservation and wildfire prevention. The little cub made a full recovery and became Smokey Bear.
*Please Note: this tee is excluded from sales / promotions so that we can raise funds for the US Forest Service.

Only you can prevent wildfires tee
Super soft, fits true to size. Happy with my purchase.
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.
