These posters were effective tools for communicating important messages about resource conservation, war bond purchases, secrecy, and enlistment. The use of striking imagery and compelling slogans helped evoke emotional responses and a sense of duty among the American public.The poster “Prevent Forest Fires! Be sure your match is out” was created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and State Forest Service. This poster emphasizes the critical importance of preventing forest fires, particularly during the war when resources were strained and every effort was made to protect the home front. Forest fires could destroy valuable timber needed for building and manufacturing, disrupt ecosystems, and divert manpower and resources away from the war effort.The poster features a detailed image of a hand holding a match, with the text “Prevent Forest Fires!” in bold, red letters at the top, and the reminder “Be sure your match is out” at the bottom. The imagery of the hand and match is simple yet powerful, directly conveying the message of personal responsibility in preventing fires. The rugged, realistic depiction of the hand underscores the seriousness of the message.Preventing forest fires was a significant concern during the war years. Fire prevention campaigns aimed to educate the public on safe practices and the broader impact of their actions. By ensuring that matches were completely extinguished and being mindful of fire safety, civilians could contribute to the overall war effort by preserving valuable resources and maintaining public safety.TEXTPREVENT FOREST FIRES!Be sure your match is outOBJECTSHand holding a match
