Smokey Bear
Wildfire prevention ursine
Smokey Bear is a mascot of the U.S.
Forest Service, created in 1944 to promote wildfire prevention.
His signature message—"Only you can prevent forest fires"—became one of the longest-running public service campaigns in American history.
Often incorrectly called "Smokey the Bear," the character wears a ranger hat and jeans.
Someone dressed as Smokey Bear may be called simply a Smokey.
