Smokey Bear and his helpers from the Idaho Dept of Lands and the Priest Lake Ranger Station visited Priest Lake Elementary today for their annual visit and campfire safety message. "The students really pay attention and know how important it is to be careful with fire," said Helper Pam Aunan. "They know the rules and I would bet none of them would ever leave their campfire before it's out."
