FromWith NS Mayport Fire andCig Emergency ServicesButts Naval Station Mayport Fire and Emergency Services responded to a fire at Barracks 1586 last week due to negligence by a smoker. On arrival, the crews find a small fire in the flower bed mulch and quickly extinguish it. The resulting investigation reveals the cause of the fire to be someone improperly disposing of a cigarette by simply flicking it in the yard. While this incident was minor in nature, it is indica- tive of a growing problem throughout our country, one that each of us needs to help curb. Discarded cigarette can cause a major fire with the possibility of injuries or deaths. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 wildfires per year have their origins traced to an improperly discard- ed cigarette. Most of these wildfires are relatively small and controlled easily. However, a few quickly expand into multi-million dollar events, causing widespread destruction of property and sometimes loss of human lives. Combine the current drought indexes in North Florida with the breezy conditions and an improp- erly discarded cigarette; a simple mulch fire could eas- ily evolve into a dangerous, fast moving major wildfire. Peer pressure on shipmates for improper disposal of cigarettes will greatly reduce the likelihood of a wildfire aboard the installation and surrounding communities. Please help us, help you stay safe! 4 THE MIRROR, NS MAYPORT, Thursday, April 26, 2012 De Wert Visits New Orleans For War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration Navy Week By MCC William Lovelady U.S. Navy to showcase our ship to New Orleans and the outlying communities.
