Stephen Colbert Gives Advice on Avoiding Wildfire

Monday August 6, 2007
Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert on his "Colbert Report" says that wildfire can be avoided by simply eliminating just one fuel source, trees. Stephen's Sound Advice provides other suggestions including changing the Smokey mascot to a dolphin, avoiding people (who are a major cause of fires) and moving to a "green" state. Check out this short and hilarious Colbert video (slow to load but worth the patience).
