“One tree 
can become one million matches.”
One match 
can turn a million trees to ashes!

Many animals 
lose their lives in these flames.
How do these fires start? 
Some by nature while others, humans are to blame.

Millions of acres 
burn every year.
Some lose their homes 
and possessions they held dear.

In some of these fires,
citizens and firefighters die.
To see all this destruction
makes one cry.

Be careful 
and obey the laws that there are. 
One little spark 
can burn and travel quite far.

The financial costs 
to fight these fires are high, 
as resources are used 
on the ground and from the sky.

The smoke as it spreads 
becomes a health risk to all.
And it’s so sad 
to see these gorgeous forests fall.

We must take care 
to save this land.
We can try 
if we lend a hand.
